Jasper, Alberta

Madeleine visited Jasper last year and was really looking forward to going back. Jasper didn't disappoint! We stayed at a little campsite called Wabasso a few miles out of town. Seeing as the other cattle farms in Jasper were full, we were expecting Blackpool beach, but it was pleasantly quiet and private. Andy decided he wanted to pack almost every Jasper attraction into one day so we did Maligne Canyon, Pyramid Lake, Old Fort Point and Lake Annette. Busy day, but worth it! We did an early trip to Edith Cavell and had a fantastic walk to the meadows. We saw pikas and marmots and some ice fell off the glacier! Back down to Jasper for a swim in Lakes Edith and Annette - we do love swimming in those beautiful clear (and cold!) lakes. We left Jasper for a couple of days to hike up to Berg Lake, but returned for a trip to Miette hot springs and Maligne lake. The boat trip up to Spirit Island is really fantastic and we has the perfect day for it, but the number of tourists shoving you out of the way with cameras spoils it a bit! We were planning on setting up in Wabasso again for the night, but ended up getting drunk with a lovely Aussie couple who invited us to stay in the spare room at their Airbnb! Dylan and Aleisha, you are our heroes!Meer informatie
