Jasper National Park

Jasper National Park September 1st and 2nd

Jasper National Park is located in Alberta, Canada and this was our next stop along the way. 
Again, the trip down through the Rockies was spectacular. We stopped a lot at the turnouts for pictures of this wonderful landscape.

Just before Jasper, we noticed a huge coal mining operation that looks to be very productive. The trains came and went through Jasper all hours of the day and night. In all, Jasper is really a lovely town with all kinds of shops, restaurants and lots of tourists. The weather is still chilly. We opted not to do the Hot Springs and to move on the next day. We did, however, do the Maligne Lake Canyon Loop which included Medicine Lake and spotted Mountain Goats along the way.
