I had 5 days in Canada last week with work, so decided to try and see some of it. It didn’t go to plan. I landed in Calgary and drove to Canmore that evening to make my way to Edmonton through Banff and Jasper.
Didn’t have my DSLR but turned out to be a great week of driving etc
The day started with a great sunrise from the hotel room

Outstanding scenery on the way to Banff – but weather was changing quick

Left Banff and the roads went worse – Lake Louise was a No No unfortunatley

Completely beached with no phone signal and no cars went by for 90 mins

Arrived in Edmonton some 7 hours later – after turning back and going back to Calgary and then up the highway
Edmonton was a bit on a suprise – looked like a mini New Yrok with heavy influence on industry and oil. Had a few good meals etc

Friday left Edmonton – very cold at -12’C

And tried the same route back then we intended to do at the start of the week – they had just re-opened Highway 93 so had little hope – but it turned out superb
Way into Jasper

Great pictures, thoroughly enjoyed looking through them. I'd love to do a road trip somewhere like that with a fully kitted 4X4 of some sort.
