Touring Jasper National Park

6/8/13

We toured around Jasper National Park today first driving to Lake Maligne.  A planned boat tour did not take place due to the weather being marginal.  Overcast and rain cast a dreary backdrop to this beautiful Alpine lake.  We next drove to Maligne Canyon looking for wildlife.

After a picnic lunch we drove south to Athabasca Falls.  This tributary flows down from Athabasca Glacier that we toured yesterday.  An early evening to prepare for our drive tomorrow ended out day.  We travel from Jasper east on Trans Canada 16 to the Yellowhead Highway, Canada 40.
