Jasper and Maligne Valley

Sat 13th and Sun 14th.
Saturday was a quiet day, we were both tired and getting irritable so it was get laundry done - yay clean clothes, however major panic when getting back to van to realized no wallet and must have left it at the Laundromat, rushed back to find it had been handed in - whew!!! Then decided to use some of our mobile data, as we had barely used any yet, so got bills from home payed, and booked our flight for leg 2 - Vancouver to Santiago Chile on 31st October. Then a drive out to Pyramid lake, for lunch, snoozing, reading and an easy stroll around Pyramid Island. It was then back to the overflow campground for the night. Bit cooler temperature overnight so woke up this morning rearing to go. Today was exploring the Maligne Valley. Firstly the Canyon. This was pretty spectacular, watching the effect the water has as it goes down the Canyon. I also bought Bryce a tour here when he came over 4 or 5 years ago, so was great to see where he went, although his was in the middle of winter so I would imagine look quite different to what we saw today. We then drove further into the valley, stopping at Medicine Lake, the karst geology out here was impressive (actually Rob I've got no idea what karst is but the cliffs, hills, mountains or whatever they were, were impressive looking and the book said it was karst geology so I'm presuming it's them. Then it was onto Maligne Lake, and a hike up Bald Hills. I really enjoyed this walk, finding it a bit easier up the hill today. The views were amazing, and also very excitingly we saw our first marmot up the top, and more chipmunks and another rodent creature - not sure what it is yet. On the way back near the bottom we took the track for the Moose Lake loop. And at the lake, came across a Moose swimming from one side of the lake to the other. It was quite a distance away, but could see with full camera zoom. Stats for the hike including Moose Lake loop are: 15.34km, 3:20 active time, 727 m elevation gain. We managed to get a site at Whistlers campground, just outside Jasper, for tonight and tomorrow, so proper shower yayOkumaya devam et
GezginKarst is boring. It's just the fancy term we use for topography formed from the dissolution of carbonate rocks (e.g. limestone). Waitomo has karst terrain.
Gezginyeah but the hills still looked good even if it is boring geology
