 |
| Lots of skinny deer on the hike. |
 |
| After the hike we drove around and looked at houses. Saw these ram. |
 |
| This would make a great summer home. The river is behind it. The big garage the truck and trailer would fit in. Just needs a few more shade trees. |
 |
| Day 2 we continued to tour Jasper National Park. Click on these photos to enlarge to read because this is very interesting. |
 |
| Maligne Canyon is so deep and twisted we couldn't see the water in most places. |
 |
| Howdy from Maligne Canyon! |
 |
| Look at the pointed rock inside the hole! Very interesting. |
 |
| That pointed rock hole is in this group of rocks. |
 |
| The next stop was Medicine Lake. As we pulled into the parking area, we almost hit a small black bear! But by the time we got the camera out, it had almost walked onto the road. |

 |
| The caribou was the one large mammal that we didn't see. They are probably all up higher in the mountains. |
 |
| We headed back south into the main park of Jasper National Park. |
 |
| It looks like these mountains we created by a fault that lifted the earth into a severe angle. |
 |
| Look hard for the ram on top of the rock. |
 |
| We were sitting in the car at a construction site when Nolan looked up to the left and saw these goats on the other side of the road. There were four of them. |
 |
| They look pretty shabby as they are losing their winter coats. |
 |
| We stopped at Bow Summit to walk the trail to Peyto Lake. |
 |
| Peyto Lake was a beautiful turquoise color. |
 |
| BEAUTIFUL!!! |

| Bow Lake. |
 |
| We were shocked to find this young moose along the road as we went back through Kootenay National Park. |
 |
| Yeah, you never know what you are going to see on the road. I wasn't drinking when I saw this pink VW bus. |
 |
| I guess a three-day Canada Day weekend isn't the time to cross the border into the U.S. It took us 45 minutes to get through the border crossing. I don't know why the line was so long but all four inspection stations were open. |
