Today I took a break from driving from point A to point B. Instead I just drove around the Canadian Rockies for a few hours, until I ended up where I started.
I could almost stay another day, and just drive around again. Hat Tip to Geologist Jay, who suggested I "bag Calgary" and spend a half-day driving through the Rockies.

On the way to Banff.

He was probably checking out the same sights I was.

Corvus corax.

Near the Saskatchewan River Crossing.

Along the Icefield Highway, on the way back towards Lake Louise.
Tomorrow I'm going to head out early in the direction of Vancouver. How far I make it depends on how many photos I stop to take. If the drive is anything like what I saw today, I'm figuring I won't get past Kaloomps, BC. That'll put me in Vancouver early on Tuesday; Seattle on Wednesday.
I've got a friend who happens to be driving up from Florida to Anchorage, and I'm hoping to at least grab lunch along the way. We'll see if that works out.
