On the road to Jasper

We left Lake Louise to travel to Jasper....a short stop at Bow Lake

Pretty stunning again

Jimmy Simpson was a fur trader who did very well and his house is in the distance and Mountain above named after him

Glacier you can just see in the distance

A better view from the bus

We then drove on to Peyto Lake

Anothe stunning lake which resembles a bear 





Lovely sights along the road

Saskatchewan crossing



We were told this is a Beavers lodge...


So many gorgeous trees

Looking back towards the highway we had travelled along

Arriving at Columbia Icefields



Looking back along road in

Quick lunch selfie before doing Athabasca Glacier


Plane stream above the mountains



Off we went with very steep down to Glacier

Looking back to small lakes


Glacier gaps










Many out on the glacier






Shadow selfie of me

My feet on ice




Couple selfie all rugged up



I got a pic of fast running water between the ice

Big gaping hole as we returned 


We then visited the Glacier Skywalk


Fabulous views


River running fast way below



On we went 

My feet on glass looking down



Selfie up there


Back on the bus enjoying the views

Athabasca falls our last stop before Jasper


Gorgeous colours and loud lol


Sad part is the Mountain Pine Beetle are killing the trees......they turn red and die......


Arriving at our hotel

Hotel Fairmont Jasper park lodge had these bears 

Chicken wings for tea after long day

Neat lights which some had bears, elk, cougar....
Well that is now us staying in Jasper 2 nights....back with more xxoo
