5:30 PM Life

We drove from Jasper to Lethbridge with stops at Athabasca Falls (scenery), Sunwapta Falls (breakfast), Peyto Lake (scenery), Canmore (gas), and High River (late lunch). We came south through Kananaskis and Peter Lougheed Provincial Parks, which is a very scenic route once one leaves Banff.

The Peyto Lake stop was a refreshing delight as we saw many wild flowers as well as the lake. We are now making this an automatic stop anytime we are on this route.

Here are a few photos:
