We stayed in Banff for four nights earlier this month. The above photo is of the canvas picture hanging above our bed. I was wondering if we’d ever see the place in the photo. After checking out of the Elkhorn Lodge on the morning of our fifth day, we headed up the Icefields Parkway where we did get that view (below).

We booked three nights in Jasper a few months ago. However, the place we booked burned to the ground during the 2024 Jasper Wildfires (less than three weeks before we got there). So we found a place in Golden instead. On our way to Golden from Banff, we drove up the Icefields Parkway as far as was permitted before heading to Golden. Amazing scenery! While it’s a bummer that we didn’t get to experience Jasper, maybe this will encourage us to come back someday to see what we couldn’t this time.
