Some pictures of yesterday’s travels through and (rumours of being expensive confirmed)

We unfortunately second guess technology and obeyed road signs that took us on a 1.5 hr detour through some of the rockies without cellphone reception (🫢 !)

Road trips can be frustrating at times… but the sunny side was that we saw several herds of wild mountain goats and several deer.

A baking Western Canada is on fire once again, following droughts and high temperatures.

A week ago I took the bus from Vancouver to Calgary, snaking our way through scores of active and out of control fires. The route also follows the construction of the Transmountain Pipeline which scars the mountainsides.

TIL that the Canadian govt contributes funding for an "international research station for mathematical discovery."

The name conjures up images of local mathematical phenomena that exist only in the most beautiful parts of Canada :)

"This is a really big park. There's some amazing experiences all around the park and there's a lot of other things that people can see and do when they come to visit Banff and Lake Louise beyond the four or five main attractions that they may know about." 

As is on pace for another record-setting season for visitors, this needs to be stressed.

The park is HUGE but so many people go to the same spots at the same time and end up frustrated by the crowds.
