Jasper in the sunshine

On the way to Jasper yesterday, we could see Mt. Robson in the clouds.  We pulled over to take a picture anyway, and Paul discovered we had a flat tire on the trailer.  The back left was really flat - and gone - only edge pieces around the rim were left.  So the stop became much longer than planned as Paul and James changed the tire and I walked Kody back and forth.

The weather was nice in Jasper when we arrived and we stayed in Whistler's campground.  We got here just in time.  Forgot it was the weekend and watched a very long line of campers and motorhomes pull in just after us.

Today we woke up to sunshine and blue sky.  We took the tram up Whistler's mountain and then hiked further up to the top.  Lots of snow still around.  The haven't yet dug out the whole of the boardwalk.  The hike up was tough.  But the views were worth it.  Down was difficult because the path was very steep in places.

Paul took some great pics and will post some once he has processed them.

We spent a little bit of time in Jasper, but spent most of the rest of the day just enjoying the weather (it usually rains when we are here, so it was that much the better because of the contrast).
