We are in Banff and Jasper National Parks for the next 7 days. We are enjoying the mild temperatures and a lack of forest fire smoke. The Canadian Rockies are stunning to say the least and even though this is a busy time of the year the parks are so big it still seems like the wild.
I'll jump right in and show you photos from our first two days.

 |
| We're going to go walk on a glacier. |
 |
| The only way up to the glacier is in this monster truck. |

Next we went to see the view from the Skywalk. It is a glass bridge hanging out over a canyon. It takes a little faith in engineers to walk out there.
 |
| The canyon 2,500 feet below a piece of glass. |
 |
| Looking down at our toes through the glass. It did not shatter. Good. |
The next morning Terri and I went on a hike to a waterfall in Johnston Canyon. The colors of the creek that runs through the rocks is amazing.

The first few days here have been great. We are really enjoying traveling with Terri's brother and sister-in-law, Shan and Beth. Preparing and eating meals together is fun. And the nightly board games make us all laugh.

And as all good Canadians would say, "Life is good, Eh."
