NTA Days 16 & 17

We left Banff on Sunday morning, and drove up Alberta Route 93 (The Icefields Parkway) to Jasper and then on to Hinton.  You'll see a shot of the Columbia Icefield below, but unfortunately it does not live up to what it once was.  We came through here from north to south in 2006, the the glacier was considerably larger at that time, almost reaching the highway.  The ice is melting, kids, like it or not.  So on reaching Hinton, we spent two nights at the KOA, which is very much a vanilla park, but comfortable and nice.  We actually stayed here when we came through thirteen years ago and took advantage of the laundry facilities.  We did laundry again this time, but the washer and dryer are now in the motorhome.  Much nicer.  Milepost
