Just got back from a Canadian Rockies trip...

Beautiful, beautiful pictures
In 2010 I did a motorcycle tour from Vancouver through the Canadian Rockies including Jasper and Banff national parks. Many of the pictures were very familiar to me.
It was the ride of a lifetime in beautiful sunny weather except for a shower on the first and last days. The mountains are stunning and it couldn't have been more perfect.
In 2008 I did a three week motorcycle tour through the deserts and Andes Mountains of Chile and Peru.
The Andes are great too, but much of the time we were up high looking down.
In the Rockies much of the time you're in valleys looking up at the towering peaks which I liked better.
