Icefields Parkway, Banff & Jasper National Parks ✹ How can one place hold so much beauty?

Icefields Parkway, Banff & Jasper National Parks ✹ How can one place hold so much beauty? ✹ This is the scenic parkway that connects Banff to Jasper National Park in Alberta, CA. ✹ It is a totally breathtaking and unreal 140 mile trek from Lake Louise to the town of Jasper. And we drove Ghost (our #fordF250) and Bertie (our #forestriverwildwood) the whole way across it. ✹ There were lots of scenic places to stop along the way. We skipped some or only stayed a second because we were towing and trying to get settled in Jasper in our new campground. But we totally could have spent a couple of days or more exploring along this parkway. ✹ There is even a place at the end just as you get into Jasper National Park, that you can pay a company to walk you out on a glacier! (See last photo of the glacier). ✹

Y’all this is my heartbeat right here. Backpacking in the mountains with amazing views and my favorite people. . I’m pretty sure this looks far more like what most people thought we meant when we said we were going to be RVing full time. Right?! . Back in August we set out on our first family backpacking trip in the Mt. Hood National forest. After ALOT of prep work and research and gear purchasing, we finally were ready to get out there! . My mom heart could not be more stoked that my kids are wanting to do this kind of thing as they are getting older, and that all those hikes that we powered through when they were younger and whiny are finally paying off . . Tent camping is still the worst, for anyone that is wondering , but I loved being out in the wilderness and waking up in the mountains with the the sun and the birds, and getting to experience something new. . What about you? Does this sound like torture to you or an awesome way to adventure? .
