Part Four: Jasper

August 2018
 

Part Four of our Canadian Rockies Road Trip Adventure.

With views like this around every corner, no wonder it took so long to get anywhere.

At our hotel in Jasper Daddy spotted this pickup. And we thought the one the insurance company found for us last year in Dorset was big!

This is the view from near the summit at 2463 m (8081 ft)

 Will someone please teach Mummy how to take a selfie??

We spent the majority of the day in Jasper up Whistlers Mountain. The Jasper Skytram took us up to 2227m (7471 ft).

From the gondola station we followed the trail to near the top. I was hot and tired so Daddy went on alone. We were nearly there too.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought I'd finish this part with one of Mummy's clever shots again.

After our delightful evening meal at the hotel we drove out to Pyramid Lake. This was what Daddy called an unexpected bonus. Joined by a walkway was a small island, Pyramid Lake Island. The light was fading and the smoke haze was returning but it proved a pleasant way to end a tiring day by walking round this beauty spot. Weddings are held here with the guests sitting on benches looking across the lake.
