Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: High point for Hitchhikers is the Banff-Jasper Highway where mountains peaks stretch 10;000 feet into the skies on each side of the road and mountain sheep; bear; moose and caribou put on a superb nature show. There are hostels at both Jasper and Banff where you can bed down for as little as $1.50. Even in summer; make sure you dress warmly as the temperature drops suddenly during the night especially near Columbia icefields.
