NTA Day 48

Today we are mostly retracing steps, at least from Jasper southward.  The trip down the Icefields Parkway to Lake Louise is actually more striking when traveling north to south, I guess because you're looking at the north facing peaks, many of which are completely snow covered, even in late summer.  We had hoped that we would be able to find a campsite in the Banff area, but nothing was available, so we continued on to Calgary, where we were able to stay at the same campsite we had visited on the northbound leg of the trip.  Milepost 8250.
