Camping in Jasper

On the long weekend we went camping in Jasper National Park with Margaret and Tyler. Jonathan and I hadn't been to the mountains before, so it was a pretty exciting weekend for both of us. We camped (in the freezing cold!!!!!), did some hikes, went to the hot springs, and most of all enjoyed just getting away for a few days.
Here are some pictures from Jasper...

This is our first glimps of the famous Rockies! Such an amazing sight.











Our first sighting of a mountain goat. We saw lots more of these all weekend. They just roam along the side of the road.














Athabasca Falls

On Saturday after setting up our camp site and having some lunch we went for a hike at Athabasca falls. It felt great to hear the water falls...reminded me of being home in Cape Breton!


















The four happy campers at Athabasca Falls

I'll try and add more pictures soon.
If you've never been to the Rockies, I think every Canadian should experience it atleast once! And thanks to Margaret and Tyler for suggesting the camping trip!
