Eastern Washington to Lake Louise mid July

[Leszek Vogt]

Although I haven't been to the area since '87, I echo what Jerry and others say, the whole area Jasper/Banff/L. Louise is worth exploring....and slowing down. I've spend roughly 3 weeks in that area and the hwy to Jasper is still in my memory....snow covered peaks on both sides. I chose to be there (somewhat by default after the Expo in VAN) in Sept-Oct...after the kids went back to school....having the road and the place, in most cases, all to myself :>). It was so peaceful...it was almost like being in Alaska.

If you get to the Jasper area take a drive up the Mt. Edith Cavel road to the parking lot. From there a short hike to the lake and Angel glacier. The lake usually has some small bergs floating around and the very picturesque glacier still hangs down over the lake although much reduced from my first visit in about 1950.

North on the Yellowhead highway out of Jasper I like the Mt Robson area with various views from the south, especially from the Robson river where it crosses the Yellowhead highway.

A short hike to Lake Agnes is pleasant and there is a tea house for lunch:
