We left Lake Louise and drove on the Icefields Parkway to the town of Jasper, in Jasper National Park, Alberta. Along the way were beautiful views of the snowy Canadian Rockies and alpine lakes. We were in Jasper for two nights, the town itself was pretty small but filled with restaurants and some gift shops.

Dawson Creek, British Columbia was our next stop, we again stayed for two nights. Dawson Creek is famous for being where the Alaska highway begins. There are exhibits about the highway being built, and of course milepost 0! Interesting that when we are out to dinner, or a grocery store, the question is not “Where are you from?” or “How long are you here for?” It’s “Are you going up or down?” That’s the question. Then always, “have a safe trip!” Canadians are very friendly! We have enjoyed some beautiful sunny weather here with temperatures in the mid 70’s.

Tomorrow we start out on the Alaska or Alcan highway! We’re excited to be at this part of our trip!
