Night #25. Banff National Park. 7600 miles. Saw some pretty rad waterfalls and the Athabasca glacier and learned all about glaciology in the science center across from it. We were perhaps a tad disturbed that tourists had so much access to the glaciers. The things are so massive (despite the fact they're just fractions of what they used to be) and beautiful and precious and natural, and the park allows tourists to walk all over them. There were lots of people on the Athabasca (despite the many posted warnings of hidden crevasses). And they took big old special tour buses up the glacier. It was all kinda sad to me. Regardless, we took one of our best hikes near there. We could see everything from where we were. I could even see your house.
