Ted. On my post about the Icefields Parkway, I neglected to include a photo from the most famous spot. The Athabasca Glacier comes down to within a half mile of the parkway and one can walk almost to the edge without a guide. Here is my photo from that spot.
We did have one last adventure before leaving Jasper. One morning, Judy and I rode the SkyTram up to Whistlers Peak (elevation 8,100 ft).
It was a fun ride with a short hike from the top of the tram to the summit. Here are a few photos including a distant view of Mt Robson (elevation 12,972 ft) which is the tallest mountain in the Canadian Rockies. We had glorious weather and clear skies. The tram operator told us you can only see Mt Robson about 30 days out of the year. Lucky us!
