Jasper

The last day we were in Jasper we relaxed at the Miette Hotsprings
We first did a short hike at the bottom of the mountain (Pocahotas coalmine). They had the shaft closed up so it was kindof a pointless walk.




These are some goats we seen on top of the mountain at the springs











One of the three sources, it smelled like rotting eggs so we took the picture quickly and then left.

















Cold water creek flowing into the warm creek. The bottom of the picture is were it meet. When we were there, the water was flowing from both direction















Cold water creek further up the trail



















This is a cold water creek coming from a different mountain and is flowing into the warm creek











The actual hotsprings were so nice and relaxing. there were two cold pools and two hot.
and the whole area wasn't walled in so you could see the mountains. It was a nice view.
I just stayed in the hot pools but nik went from the hot to the cold and then back again. the cold pools weren't that cold but when the body was hot from being in the warmth, the cold pool felt freezing.
We should have taken the camera in but we didn't
