Travelog for: Spooky

Hi Mum,

This week end we are in Jasper and today we immediately explored a bit around the town . First we jumped on the Jasper Tramway that took us up a mountain with a lovely view of the valley.



With a short walk we reached the top of a nearby mountain called The Whistlers, and the view was even better .




This peak is called The Whistlers because of the sheer number of Whistling Marmots living here. They didn’t seem to inclined to take a photo a with us , but we managed to at least take a decent shot of one of them.



Later we moved a bit on the side of the peak to enjoy more views.



Here you can see Jasper again with the Upper Station of the Jasper Tramway...



...and here is the ridge that we walked on to get o the top .



From the opposite side of the mountain we could see in the haze the Athabasca Valley, with the Athabasca River being that silver ribbon on the valley floor.



What a great day !

Hi Mum,

Today we were supposed to visit a glacier, but the weather had other plans so after trying to reach it and getting drenched in the process we had to change destination. So we checked out a little lake near Jasper town called Lake Annette. Nice place, and it wasn’t raining .




In the background you can see a green space. There was actually a beach there with someone swimming in the lake, crazy people !



Back to our hotel we gathered some wood...



...and decided to use the fireplace .



Unfortunately smaug said that the room was already warm enough and we just have to chat imagining to sit in front of a fire .

Hi Mum,

Today we are going back to Calgary, so on the way we took a couple of photos. One with the Athabasca River...



...and one with Mount Fryatt .

Hi Mum,

Today I said goodbye to all my friends here and got ready to come home. Roderich is leaving tomorrow too, moving to his next host, so we’ll keep each other company for a bit at the post office .



Before I jumped in my envelope sammino gave me a big hug and wished me safe journey .



See you soon .
