Last weekend Kirsten and I went to Jasper National Park. After an enjoyable night staying with Jax at the Delta Lodge in Kananaskis. We had a well deserved dip in the spa and ended up drinking a few too many wines and shotskis with Jax and her friends, so we were late to rise the next morning.
The day started clear and calm, and continued throughout the day. The entire drive was discovering one amazing view to another. We can see why this is such a popular tourist spot in summer.
Finally we arrived at our destination of Jasper, where we stayed at the Mount Robson Inn (the only place we could find accomodation on such short notice), which turned out to be a lovely place to stay.
Sunday saw us up early for a morning detour to Maligne lake, it was a race against the weather to get there before the snow packed in. We made it with no time to spare, and on our way back we were suprised to see a road maintenance worker moving stones off the highway with a hockey puck! only in Canada.
After grabbing a quick lunch back in Jasper it was off home for another 4 hours of sublime views and horizontal snow until we hit the prairies.
