Left our place around 8:00a.m. and headed north to Jasper NP which is about 5 hrs ride without any stops. Of course, we stopped all the way up there so it took about 10 hrs. It was all worth it. Stopped at Lake Louise again since it was close to a blizzard the first time around. There were blue skies and it was beautiful. Stopped at Mistaya Canyon and had a great hike. Lots of waterfalls. Walked at times up to our knees in snow to get up to Peyto Lake only to find it totally frozen. Continued on to what is called the Icefields which is a glacier that is ice as deep as the Eiffel Tower. Its quite a site. The rest of the ride was fantastic. Mountain goats and big horn sheep most of the way. Spent the night in Jasper and got up and headed back to Canmore. Stopped at Athabasca Falls and Sumwapta Falls. They are both great stops and worth the hike to see. The moral of the story is wait till June to come if you plan to see the beautiful lakes!!!!
