The antique Red Buses are both a symbol of the park and a reminder of a time when adventurous travel was done with style. The name "jammer" is carried over from the days when the buses had standard transmissions and the drivers could be heard "jamming" the gears as they drove up and down the rugged mountainous highway. You journey from Lake McDonald to Rising Sun, named one of the top 100 most scenic drives. (B) DAY FOUR: Experience the Ice Age This morning it's off to Banff, Canada's first National Park.
