Lake Louise to Crowsnest Pass

On the morning of September 4^th, we left Lake Louise and took a leisurely route through the Bow Valley which was recommended by the Visitor Center there. They told us we might see more wildlife with that route, but we saw none. A lovely ride anyway all the way to Banff.

We stopped in Banff for breakfast and took a scenic loop out of Banff again at the recommendation of the local Visitor Center. However, this time, we shouldn’t have taken it. It was narrow, windy and not suited for an RV towing a car! Another adventure! We liked Banff though.. a little more of a town than Lake Louise and very charming.

Tim had seen a place called Crowsnest Pass on the map, so,  since our sailboat was named Crow’s Nest, we had to go that route from Banff on route to Waterton Lakes-Glacier National Park. We camped in the Municipality of Crowsnest for the night and moved on again the next day. There was nothing spectacular here other than the name!

We are sightseeing along the way, but our focus for the most part now is to head east to New England to see our children and then home to South Carolina by October  1^st. Lots of driving and long days ahead.
