My summer camping trip

     I was traveling last week with my husband by camper. Our goal was: "programa  maximum for short time" and seems we did it.
      During four days we visited  five national parks:
  1. Banff National Park, Alberta.
  2. Yoho National Park, BC.
  3. Jasper National Park,Alberta.
  4. Glacier National Park,BC.
  5. Revelstok National Park,BC.
    Also we drov through Mount Pobson Provincial Park, BC.   There we went to the visitor center, took a few booklets, took some  photos and kept driving.

  By the way: park passes are required for entry into any of Canada's national parks. All park entry fees will be waived in 2017. We have paid 58,80$ CAD for three nights.

      In Banff National Park  we visited:

  •   Peyto Lake
  • Moraine Lake
  • Lake Louise
  • Bow Lake
  In Yoho National Park we visited:

  •  Esmerald Lake , in my opinion it is the most beautiful lake what I have  been ever seen
  • Takakkaws Falls
  • Natural Bridge
  • Spiral tunnels-tunnels where  the train snakes through the tunnels and you could see the "had" and "tail" of train
   In Jasper National Park:

  • we walked in the nice and interesting town Jasper
  • went up a mountain by Jasper SkyTram
  • visited Athabaska Fall
      In Glacier National Park we tried to approach as much as possible to see the glacier, which was formed million years ago.

     In Revelstok National Park:

  • we visited "BC Interior Forestry Museum"
  • we saw very massive trees, very old and tall "Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail"
  • we drove  up a  Mount Revelstok
  Making a short conclusion of our trip I would say that all places what we visited are unique, beautiful, amazing, indescribable.  Each of them is worthy of attention and included  in the category "must-see".
   I would like to add about  campgrounds. As we were traveling by camper  September 13 to 19 it was still  the high season. Some nights we were placed in the camp. Sometimes was  difficult to get a site with electric power, because all camps were  full. So I would advise in advance  to reserve a place in the camper.
   In total  we drove 2500 km for  six days.
