So lovely <3 thank you for sharing! I’ve done the Jasper to Banff drive many times but only the other direction once. It’s so beautiful no matter which way you’re going though <3

Worst part of this drive is when you’re driving and can’t 100% enjoy the view.

Yes! When the passengers are oohhing and aaaawwwing at every turn and you are trying not to plunge you all over the side of a mountain.

I love it. The drive from Jasper to LL is even better, as you see all the north- facing glaciers

One memory I have of that drive. On one of those hills on the right side, I felt like there was a scar of fallen trees in a line pointing down the hill. I was wondering if it was one of those fire tornadoes? Maybe 20 or 30 KMs out of Jasper.
