Drive back to Calgary - 14th July'12

After a great break in Jasper, having been spoilt with four bear sightings we were on great alert in case we saw any more on our return journey back to Calgary. This wasn`t the case but stopped at some beautiful rest stops.






Athabasca Falls








Bottom of Icefield Glacier

Columbia Icefield Glacier













Rest Stop, can't remember what lake this was!!




Bow Lake


Lake Louise










Train from Jasper to BC - 13th July'12

After that long drive yesterday, we didn't want to be in the car for most of the day! Jasper is a lot smaller than Banff so there isn't much to do around town. We were very lucky to get the last two seats on the half day trip to British Columbia by train; this tour is only available twice a week so we had picked the right two days to visit Jasper. We were met in BC by sundog tours to drive us back to Jasper, on our return journey we saw a little Black bear and at one of the rest stops along the yellowhead highway we saw a Grizzly bear eating!!
