We drove from Dillon, MT to St. Mary’s Campground on the east side of Glacier National Park. We had plans on staying 3 nights and then driving from St. Mary’s to Jasper, Alberta, Canada. The Going to the Sun road which travels from the east side to the west side of the park is not yet open due to snow. So the first day we traveled the first 12 miles up the road to the turn around point.
The weather has not actually been our friend so far this trip and with the winds that we were getting at the campground we decided to shorten our stay by one day and extend the travel time from St. Mary’s to Jasper to two days. So we drove about 3 hours to just south of Calgary and stayed one night in Okotoks.
The next day we then drove the 300+ miles from Okotoks to Jasper. The last 200+ miles were pretty slow with the amazing landscapes and plenty of traffic. We are now staying at the Whistlers campground and at least the first day’s weather has been great. A storm is coming in tomorrow, so this will be our first laundry day and we will celebrate Gloria’s birthday with shopping and dinner.
