Jasper Vacation

On August 12th through 16 we went to Jasper. A big thank you to Auntie Cheryl for babysitting Liz during that time.

First stop, Athabasca Glacier. We took a snow coach on to the glacier.
There we pylons as to where people should stay when on the glacier because of cavases and sink holes, but where do you think people went first when let off the bus? Where they shouldn't be, beyond the pylons.
to be truthful, we went beyond the pylons too.






I don't know the name of this glacier, it's to the left of the Athabasca Glacier.












Andromeda Glacier, to the left of the Athabasca Glacier.












AA Glacier, also to the left of the Athabasca.
They explained why its called the AA but i don't remember why.













The Snow Dome, to the right of Athabasca














On the second day after a cold camp across the road from the glacier, we stopped at Athabasca Falls. Nothing knew, we stopped took a few pics and then left.

















The River before the falls


















Cute little falls to the left of the big falls












After lunch we hiked Mt. Edith Cavell. This was the destination. the Meadows












I allowed Nik to take these pics, there among the pretty flowers in the meadows






















Cavell Glacier at the bottom with the lake in front of it and Angel Gacier on top.
