Leaving Jasper today, our rented Toyota RAV4 headed south on the Icefields Parkway. We stopped at two waterfalls on the way to the Columbia Icefields Discovery Center. Both were pretty impressive just like everything else we have viewed over the last week.
Our next stop was the Columbia Icefield Discovery Center. We watched a 20 minute film on glaciers which was rather artsy rather than a documentary. I really enjoyed the pictures of how folks toured the glaciers years ago that were on the walls at the center. I took several pictures of them to contrast them to the present day tours.
And here is how it is done today. I really enjoyed walking on the glacier and seeing it first hand. In spite of the fact that it is so commercialized, we decided to take the tour. Seeing the size of the Ice Explorers was impressive. Our driver said that each one cost a million and a quarter to build. The tires on it were gigantic.
It was very cold and windy on the glacier. We did not last very long on these Adirondack chairs!
Today we drove for about 5 hours and are spending the night in Invermere, British Columbia. I was getting so desparate to see a mountain goat, that I took a picture of a fake one at the Discovery Center.
Then, just as we were almost to Invermere, didn’t we see two goats ambling across the highway with little regard of the traffic. I was thrilled, but I don’t think the goats were impressed to see me. 
Seeing waterfalls and mountains, walking on a glacier, and spotting two mountain goats was a great way to spend our day.
I thought that glacier and ride was awesome too!!! Your pics are great!!! I’m enjoying your trip!!! Tell Frank to smile!!
