The campground at Mt. Robson was very wooded with generous spaces and it was beautiful. After setting up camp we went to see if the salmon were spawning at Rearguard falls. We spent an hour fascinated with the salmon's determination to make it upstream and up and over the falls. Don't even ask how many pictures we took this time!
How could we not stop at Jasper and Lake Louise when we were sooo close! This is one of the most awesome places we have ever been and so we spent 3 nights at Wapiti Campground in Jasper and visited some of our favorite spots--Maligne Lake, Medicine Lake, Maligne Canyon. We also explored the road that led to the east entrance of the park and saw a bunch of bighorn sheep and elk.
We also spent 3 nights at Lake Louise Campground which brought back so many fun memories of camping here when the kids were little. Hiking to Mirror Lake (so named because the goats are said to come to the lake to groom their beards) and the Lake Agnes teahouse, strolling through the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and hiking around Moraine Lake filled our 2 days in the area. It was also fun to reconnect with our travelling partners, Dave and Susi, at Lake Louise.
The rest of the pictures are here.
We headed towards Waterton Lakes National Park, which is an area that we have never been. One more National Park...
Nest it will be on to Glacier NP. You may have guessed that we are heading home finally. We have had a wonderful trip with outstanding weather. We have been so lucky the whole trip even with our times with the crud. I hope you have enjoyed our exploits at least partially as much as we have. Will be looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
