Default Trip to Banff and Jasper National Parks

Just got back from an amazing trip to Banff and Jasper National Parks down in Alberta and BC border in Canada. Its a must see for anyone who appreciates the beauty of our Mother Nature. I towed a small tent trailer and had absolutely no problems towing it with 35's and stock Rubicon 4.10 gears. The only times I had to take my time was on uphills.. Other then that Jeep handled it surprisingly well.
Here are some shots I took, Enjoy and make sure you leave your comments.
Cheers all, Sam

Up in the national park there isnt really any access to offroad trails, it was mainly see the scenery type of trip. Still tons of fun. This Bus takes tourists up on Athabaska glacier.
