Canadian Rockies

The Fog of FUD

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt are the three horsemen of the journey. Last night I felt a little overwhelmed by the enormity of this undertaking; 2700 miles down the road, but another 2000 before I even reach Alaska. This morning, about 15 miles west of Calgary, the fog lifted in seconds, as the Canadian Rockies came into view. The ride from Banff to  Lake Louise, and then up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper was so spectacular that I'm not going to write much; the pictures speak for themselves. At one point I was so overwhelmed with emotion that my eyes started to tear up. It was an Omygod, Omygod, Omygod ride all day long. Imagine Yosemite National Park. Then imagine it for 150 miles. With glaciers.
