My Canadian Rockies Trip, Part 1: Calgary and Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump

In June, my son and I took a trip to the Canadian Rockies that included Banff, Jasper and Glacier National Park, three scenic parks I had on my “to do” list for a long time. Time to “do” it.

This trip was organized by Caravan Tours. We had done other trips with Caravan and were comfortable with their itineraries, organization, motor coaches, hotels and meals. This particular tour is a popular one and sells out quickly. So, we took precautions to book early, in fact, as soon as it was announced, a wise decision as it later turned out.
