Our drive back to our hotel from the Icefield Parkway took 60 minutes and we had to add several minutes to that travel time because the Ministry of Transport was blasting overhanging rock on a relatively small section of the highway. We had to wait for the blasting the previous day and so we were familiar with the drill. Turn off the engine and get out of your car, walk to the edge of the road and look at the beautiful river flowing about 500' below us! I decided to take photos of the line in front of us (we were car #18) and of the folks behind us (didn't count those cars). Some of the people were fairly upset at the delay, but it was better than having a huge slab of rock tumble down onto your car!
