We left Jasper by 8 to have the best chance to see wildlife as we weren't disappointed. 6 elk 2 moose and 3 black bears, a mother with two cubs. Very pleased! Got a few photos and some video footage. At one point we thought the big male elk was going to charge the coach - very exciting.
The early start was also to take us for a trip on the Maligne Lake. The photos show the lake and Spirit Island. A place if such peace and tranquility it was hard to pull ourselves away.
The glacier below was (almost) the last glacier of the day. They are so amazing that the photos really don't do them justice.
The rest of the day was a long coach trip heading back south and west towards Vancouver were we will board the cruise ship to Hawaii tomorrow.
Tonight we are staying at Sun Peaks. A gorgeous ski resort near Kamloops. Then we have six days at sea arriving in Hawaii on Trevor's birthday. So this may be the last blog for a week if we have no Internet at sea.
More soon love Nadine xxxx
WOW! The trip sounds stupendous! So glad you are getting to see the extreme beauty of North America. Happy and safe travels home.
