on the Transcanada, heading towards the Rockies!

Rockies are getting close!
|
I'm used to signs that say pedestrians are NOT allowed on the highway!
|
Even closer...
|

|
look at that sky; it's going to be a gorgeous day!
|
inside the Rockies at last!
|

|
either these mountains are really short or I'm gaining altitude!
|

|

|
This mountain looks like it's caving in under its own weight.
