So my cous Carolyn and her two friends went with me to Jasper. None of us had ever been, but my parents promised to take her and since she is leaving and they are out of town I had the fortune to go. We left at 4AM I had a grand total of 2 hours sleep.
We drove up the 93 from the Transcanada. It is a long trip but well worth it. It is one of the mosy beutiful drives I have ever done. We stopped and went to the Columbia Ice Fields - where I stepped in galcier water to save my frisbee. We picked up Maurice from Ireland - a teacher who is visiting for the summer and with whom we sang Irish songs. We then went to Jasper and window shopped for a while and ate at a Chinese Place ti smelt nice but it was the worst i have ever had.
Then we went to Milign Canyon which is amazing and then went exploring up the river and walked on the rocks in the water. It was cold but fun. We saw a Black Bear cub, Mountain Goat, Sheep and Kangaroo Birds (Magpies that carolyn likes).
It was along drive home I think it took 6-7 hours we drove the Edmonton way and down the QE2.
