Maligne
Canyon. There is just sooo much water in this really deep gorge. There
are 6 bridges to cross & the whole 2 miles was spectacular! |
These
deer were some of the only wildlife we saw in the parks, probably due
to the extreme amount of traffic. |
Valley
of 5 Lakes trail. 3 mile trail wanders by the lakes. Another beautiful
day! |
|
We
took the Jasper Skytram up the mountain to start a hike to Whistler's
Summit. |
Met
this girl on the Whistler's Summit hike. She's a Shibu Inu 9 year old.
A Japanese hunting dog. Loves to hike. What a beauty, yah! |
It
was windy at the summit but we had awesome 360 degree views, great reward
for the climb up! |
|
Athabasca
Falls trail used this abandoned water channel to follow the river to
several overlooks. |
This
old snowcat was used to take people out on the glacier in the background.
We're at the Columbia Icefield Center
along with the rest of Canada.
This is no longer a wilderness experience!!! But the scenery remains
incredible! |
This
was our campsite at the Icefield Center. Yes, it's a paved parking lot.
It was quiet after 8p when the center closed. We had views of 3 glaciers,
cell coverage and Starbucks in the morning when the center opened. LIG

Hiked
up the Parker Ridge Trail & found snow pretty fast. Didn't have
to walk thru much of it. Lots of well designed switchbacks made the
uphill easier. |
The
Parker Ridge trail lead us up and along the lateral moraine of the Saskatchewan
Glacier. This was our favorite hike so far. |
Great
trail, great views! |
