09. Banff
July 01, 2003 GMT
Banff National Park

When I started in Jasper, I had a wonderful weather, it seems to be better and better each day!

So I took my time and made a lot of pictures on the way to the Saskatchewan River Crossing, where turned of on Highway 11 until Nordegg.
There I wanted to travel on the "Foresty Trunk Road", but almost 300 km on this gravel road wouldn't be really good, so I turned back again and went on to the Columbian Icefields.
I slept on night on a rustical campground at the Moscito Creek and the next day I went on until Banff.

The weather is hotter than yesterday but much more windy!

Here in Banff I hade a wonderful evening at the Grizzlyhouse and a good night on the Tunnel Mountain Campground.

Now today, on July 1st, they are celebrating the "Canada-Day" and I've seen a big group of the RCMP, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police" and a few other fine things.

Tomorrow I'll leave for the Waterton Park.

The more to read here!

Motorcycling the magnificent landscapes of Mexico, the USA and Canada.
'Sam Manicoms new book! is a gripping rollercoaster of a two-wheeled journey which takes you riding across some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. This enticing tale has more twists and turns than a Rocky Mountain Pass and more surprises than anyone would expect in a lifetime. There are canyons, cowboys, idyllic beaches, bears, mountains, Californian vineyards, gun-toting policemen with grudges, glaciers, exploding volcanoes, dodgy border crossings and some of the most stunning open roads that a traveller could ever wish to see.
