Well we've made into the Rockies again and...the sun is shining and it is warm which is nice as I am heading south on Hwy 93 from Jasper to Banff and points beyond.
The road is fantastic long sweeps up the mountain passes all the way to the "Ice Field" a glacier that you can walk to and walk on . All of it on marked trails. After seeing the Juneau Icefields and its glaciers this one is a little bit of a let down.
We take pictures and continue past mountain sheep and bears with stunning views of the Rockies all the way to Lake Louise and Banff. I find a great camp ground and am looking forward to enjoying my surroundings. That is until a park Ranger recommends that I leave and head south as they expect the weather to turn bad, cold sleet and even some snow in the next 10 to 12 hours.
So with much regret I get on my "Stinger" and head out again. The goal is to make Kalispell MT which is another 250 miles to go.
It is a wonderful ride over 2 more mountain passes and I exit the Rockies at Radium Hot Springs BC.
Sure enough the sky turns grey and there we go again, cold and rain. I cross into Montana and find out that I am now in Mountain time zone and instead of 6:15PM it is 7:15. Undaunted I ride to Kalispell find a Motel 6 and crash after a quick bite at a neighborhood diner!
Tomorrow could be nicer....maybe!
