Lone Pine, California
The Alabama Hills, just west of Lone Pine have been a popular place for making movies since the 1920s. In the center of this picture is Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the lower 48 states at 14,496 feet.

The Film History Museum in Lone Pine has an excellent video highlighting movies that have been made in the area, as well as numerous exhibits and displays.

Just a few miles north of Lone Pine is an impressive museum at Manzanar, one of several Japanese-American internment camps used during WWII.

Reno, Nevada
The annual Great Reno Balloon Race is a good place to get up close with lots of hot air balloons, spectacular colors, and friendly people.

The scenery in and around the town of Banff is so impressive. Every direction you turn is another picturesque Kodak moment.



This is not a traffic jam, it’s a car show in town.

Cascade Gardens

Johnston Canyon (We had to check this one out!)

Lake Louise

Moraine Lake

This beautiful quilt is hanging on the wall at the library where we posted these pictures.

Oat ‘n aboat in Waterton National Park, eh?
We’re discovering on this trip that the scenery just keeps getting more and more spectacular. The waterfalls are full, everything is fresh and green, and the wildflowers are in bloom.







This is cool … really cool. That’s actually ice on the lake!



This is a view of the campground/village as we hiked up to Bertha Falls.

Waterton Campground and Village
These playful ground squirrels are so entertaining as they dash in and out of their tunnels.

We have seen so many deer here. These gentle creatures roam freely throught our campground and the village (which is only a block away).











Playin’ it cool … parkin’ with the big guys!

This is the awesome view from our campsite.

Here is a glimpse of just a few of the many scenes inside the park.









There’s a deer here.

There’s a bear there.




We had hoped to be able to drive the entire 51 mile “Going-to-the-Sun-Road”, but it hadn’t yet opened for the season. We were able to travel in 13 miles, which still allowed us to see some beautiful scenery.

Note: We will be heading to Canada tomorrow, so we are not sure when we will be able to post more pictures.
