Jasper NP (Wabasso Campgound) - Jasper, AB

Banff NP, a glacier in the background

We took the same drive we took over 30 years ago from Banff to Jasper.  I asked Deb if she wanted to  revisit any of those nostalgic moments...nope, "Been there, done that...wanna do new stuff!" Okay then.

It was an awe striking drive along the Ice Fields Parkway...seeing glaciers and waterfalls, and canyons cut through bedrock.  We had on again, off again rain all day, and the clouds covered the peaks of the mountains, which made it seem even colder than it actually was.

We got to Wabasso Campground, just south of Jasper in time for "tea."  I tried to stay outside to enjoy the ambiance, but with the temperature in the low forties, and the drizzle it was hard.  We are far enough north that the sun doesn't start to go down till 11.  The other night we watched a camper pull in at 10:30 and still have enough light to spend 30 minutes getting his camper perfectly level.
