Yep, now I know why they call the Icefield Parkway the most scenic route in the world. This part of Canada is just outstanding. The season, with the changing colors in the scenery was wonderful and I have to congratulate once again the Canadian buddies for a truly beautiful country. Vancouver also was an easy going and pretty city. Recommend a trip to BC for spectacular scenery - if you like photography you'll be in wide angle scenery heaven...I knew I was. Enjoy some fotos.

Just back from Wisconsin/Minnesota and Illinous and travelled 1522 miles in 14 days. That equated to about 175kms per day average. You did about 180kms.
Hmmm. Interesting. The 1522 was just about right for 14 days. I'd say 4000kms in 22 days is pretty tiring.
How many photos did u take during the trip?
