Day 2 in Jasper and we head out into the park following the “Icefields Parkway” (dramatic sounding name for “road along valley”).
Stop 1 Athabasca Falls…only a drop of 23 metres, but the volume of water was huge…
Stop 2 Sunwapta Falls…even tiddlier 18 metres….
Stop 3 for some 21% Turkey Ham (Furkey Fam) rolls and a very poor viewing point…
Stop 4 Athabasca Glacier – Very different from the Fox Glacier in New Zealand (which I though was mint).
Stop 5 Tangle Creek Falls – Three tiered waterfall that apparently freezes over in winter and you can climb up..there was still a little bit of snow on the top..
Stop 6 (unscheduled) Bear!!!!! If you see cars pulled up at the side of the road, it usually means “Wildlife” and sure enough along came a bear, crossed the road, nearly fell over a bush and then disappeared into the forest.
Sorry, no Hat news (not even one belonging to a Bear Trapper) and I still haven’t had my hair cut.

Genuinely an experience to change all your lives and a wonderful thing you have chosen to do with/for your children. Looking forward to the next update Alice (?)…. Love to you all xx
