This was one of the highlights of our trip.
We had breakfast at our room, and early in the morning, we drove to Mt. Robson in B.C. Mt. Robson is the highest peak in the Rockies at nearly 4,000m high. It is about 1 hour away, on a spectacular highway. Along the way, we stopped at lake ...
Weather got worse and worse the further north we went. However, you can still enjoy it.
Go to the Visitor Center in Mt. Robson and they will explain what trails you can take. Because we had limited time, we only did the shortest hike, 1 hour up the mountain to Lake Keishan...
Stunning.
Jasper: Maligne Lake and Medicine Lake
Maligne lake is about 45 minute drive. You will pictures of this lake everywhere,and offers for a boat tour. The lake is very pretty, you can hike trails around it, take pictures, etc. Quite nice.
Medicine lake is on the way to Maligne Lake, so why not stop on the way in or out. It was called like that by the natives because the water changes levels throughout the summer.
Maligne Lake
Medicine Lake
Maligne Canyon
Stop here on your way back. There are nice trails and bridges that cross the canyon back and forth. The canyons is very deep and impressive.
Jasper: Lakes Edith and Annette
These lakes are ion the way back from Maligne canyon. These are the warmest lakes in Jasper, with beaches. If it is really warm, you can go in in these lakes. Easy parking.Don't get your hopes up as for water temperature. being the warmest lakes in a cold region is still... cold water. However, it is not absolutely freezing. My son went in up to his knees, water was ok.
Athabasca River and Elks
On e way back to Pine Bungalows cars were stopped on the highway as several elk were spotted:
It turns out, many elk could be seen from Pine bungalows:
At night we had nice chats with our bungalow neighbors, as well as went for walks along the river.
There is a gondola in Jasper, we did not go. The weather was not the nicest and we had already been to the one in Banff, so we passed.
