After
spending the night in Rocky Mountain House we moved on along the David
Thompson Highwway where we were able to book a motel room before moving
on towards Jasper for the day.
The only "large" wildlife we saw. (Not counting the two moose we saw
before we were out of Manitoba!
Tangle Creek
Along the Icefields Parkway.
We walked up to the foot of the Athabaska Glacier. Signs along the wau
document its retreat.

We
stopped only a few
times along the way, saving most of the sightseeing for the trip back
to Saskatchewan Crossing.
We had lunch and walked through the town.
On the way back we stopped at the Athabaska River..
..and then the Athabaska Falls..
We were back in Saskatchewan Crossing for a late supper.
On Sunday
morning we walked to the overlook of the North Saskatchewan River
and headed south through Banff National Park.
