It wasn't marked, but I'd say it never exceeded a 6% grade, and only was about 4 or 5 miles long. We took it at 20,000 RPM in 3rd gear, it was a breeze. I'd say there were a couple of hills that were worse, if we were heading south from Jasper to the Ice Fields.
We have several hundred pictures of mountains, as there was just another as/more beautiful than the last every time you looked up. When we get to the kids and I have decent wifi, I may try to post some.
Tom Seiler, we took pictures of Harlequin ducks while we were in the Yellowstone, and a Clark Nutcracker on the rocks along Lake Louise, but didn't get any at Maligne Lake, although there were lots of signs telling people to stay away from their nesting sites. I'll try to post.

That is one hi performance engine! BTW: the Maloneys leave for BC on Saturday, next.
