Day #2: On the Way to Jasper

We had a leisurely drive up to Jasper, with multiple stops to hike and take in the scenery in Banff on the way:

First stop, the Lake Louise Welcome Center (to buy a park pass):


Then on to Lake Louise:

The pictures were a little hazy so you can't see how very blue everything was


The kids dipped their feet

Brrr!


Little boys and rocks
Our next stop was an overlook on Lake Peyto:






Our last rest stop was a short hike to Bridal and Panther Falls:


You could see Bridal Veil from the road


But Panther falls was hidden and the kids all said "wow" when we rounded the corner and saw it




Bridal Falls from farther down

All the plants were covered in rock dust from the falls

This is not a black and white picture -- you can just make out a splash of yellow flowers sheltered from the dust

On the way back up
We made it to Jasper around 6:30. Tomorrow -- glacier pictures!
