Us @ Upper FallsWell, we’re in Canada! We got through the border very easily (they didn’t even ask for our passports, weird!) and we stopped in Fernie, BC our first night. Then we headed up to Kootenay and Banff National Parks, which are both GORGEOUS! We are in Banff right now and will be departing on a 6-day backpacking trip tomorrow morning. I’ve gotta bust my butt to get the Co-op newsletter finished when we return from backpacking. Luckily there’s internet in the town of Banff within the park. We’ll probably drive through Banff and do a few day hikes after that, and then possibly see Jasper and Yoho National Parks (we bought a pass for them all so we gotta get our money’s worth).

Banff is amazing, the mountains and waterfalls we’ve seen have been beautiful. The people are very friendly too, and Canadian accents are pretty cute (especially the little old ladies). Although we’re finding that everything in Canada is expensive, especially in the National Parks. We’re trying to cook instead of eating out and finding free camping whenever we can.

We’ll be stopping back through Glacier when we head back through the states to see our friend John, and going to McCall for my parent’s 30th anniversary celebration in mid-August. Other than that, the itinerary is unknown, and that’s just the way we like it. :)
