Beautiful Jasper

---

So we've left Banff far behind us thanks to Hollie and Keeley and their trusty car Emma. We only had a few wrong turns before leaving the Bow Valley.

The road between Banff and Jasper is with out a doubt the most picturesque road I've ever driven on. There was lake after beautiful lake and mountain after amazing mountain. We stopped so many times to take pictures that it took about 6hours to drive the 3hr high way. I'll put so pictures on but they only give a glimpse of what a beautiful place this is.

Yesterday was a day for sightseeing. We meet up with Hollie and Keeley again and two other peeps from Banff, Andy and Zoe and headed to Milene Canyon and lake. It was stunning. WE had a nice walk along the canyon and then bumped into alot of American tourists so hightailed it back to the car. I was a hot hot morning so decided to have a BBQ that night. But before we had a chance to get back to Jasper it the weather decided to pack it in. WE had thunder and lightning and lot and lots of rain. Thankfully we had bush man Andy and he got a fire started in the cooking hut at the Campground that Kate and I are staying at and we had a really nice meal.

Our tent is great. It rained all night long and not a leak all in sight.

We head of to Prince George tomorrow then on to Prince Rupert which is where we hope to get a Ferry to Alaska.

Take it easy and Have fun
Love
Jo

Two Jacks Lake
The second of many Beautiful Lakes

Peyto Lake
This was the most Beautiful Lake by far. The colour was breath taking. We also had to hike 10min up hill from the car park which was also breath taking!

Driving, driving, driving
This was the road. Keeley and Hollie in the front, me and Lace in the Back.

Athabasca Glacier
This is where the glacier was in 1844. Impresive! We in the Columbian Icefields area.

Kate and Our tent
This is our first campsite of the trip. We have to be careful not to leave out any food or scraps that could attract Bears. We also can't sleep in the clothes we ate in!!!!!

The Gang at Milene Canyon
It's great that none of us knew each other before winter in Banff now we have great friends to meet up with all over the place.

Black Bear
Oh I forgot to say we saw a little black beat on the sid eof the road yesterday. He was oblivious of the trafic jam he was causing and was intent on eating as many flowers as possible.
