Here is SHEILA who sold Lauren
lots of T-shirts
Saturday July 10
We took a cab over to the dealership and
picked up our bikes. Not only was Lauren's bike fixed,
but it was also sparkling clean. When I mentioned how
nice her bike looked next to my dirty one, they
immediately had my bike washed also. Total repair cost
$69.95 Canadian (about $40 US).
Five stars to Heritage Harley Davidson.
We pulled out of Edmunton about 11:00 am and headed back to Jasper. Turned south at Jasper and took the Icefields Parkway to Lake Louise. Just before leaving Jasper Nat'l Park and entering Banff Nat'l Park you come to the Icefields Center. Lauren and Talena hiked up to the bottom of the Athabasca Glacier and stood on it.

I just waved to them from the parking lot as it was a good
half mile hike uphill all the way. It was getting late
as we
left the Glacier, so we decided to stay at the next
town which was Lake Louise. Staying in Lake Louise is
not recommended. One room, one night, equals $269
Canadian (about $175 U.S), If you can get a room!
Sunday July 11
We pulled out of Lake Louise about 9:30 am and rode to
Banff for breakfast. Leaving Banff we headed for
Montana. On the way we went through Calgary and saw the
Winter Olympic Stadium. Calgary had the Stampede going
on so staying there was not an option. We stopped for
the night inside Glacier Nat'l Park and stayed at the
Rising Sun Inn. It had a beautiful view of a lake but
NO POOL, NO HOT TUB, NO PHONE, NO TV, NO FUN :-(
Basically it was just expensive.
Monday July 12
We spent the morning riding
through the Glacier Nat'l Park. As far as scenery goes
this park is second only to Jasper. The high point is
Logan Pass.
