We stayed overnight in Golden, and then came back down through Jasper to Kamloops, and it is an absolutely incredible trip! Your pictures are awesome! Truly magnificent views to see and behold! I know this comment is quite late, but I do hope that your MIL is doing much better, and I'm sure your visit really was a blessing to her!

Thank you for taking me along with you!<br />Also, from your previous post, your Mom Is just a beauty, as are all you lovely ladies. She must've had a wonderful 80th birthday.

I enjoyed seeing photos of our valley and the familiar looking route out of the province. I am one who just loves these views, but I know there are those who prefer the rolling praires. My dad always said, that in BC you can't see far, but you see much. In the prairies you see far, but don't see much. =) I guesss he's had some influence in my life.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-84375154635550920232016-08-26T07:16:25.468-07:002016-08-26T07:16:25.468-07:00We have done this trip both ways and it is really ...We have done this trip both ways and it is really beautiful. I think we stayed over in Merritt though as we were driving from Jasper that time. The mountains are spectacular and some of the roads are a bit nerve-wracking to my fear of heights but it is an amazing drive. I'm glad that Tim's mother is doing better.

Met other Canadian jeepers. Had a blast. My parents took another trip to Lake Banff later, and loved the Canadian beauty. I enjoyed traveling with you; the scenery is wild and rough and beautiful.
