The weather has changed and so have my plans. I decided to spend another day exploring more locally, then drive home directly.

The third day I had one goal: hike to the bottom of Kinney Lake and back.
Frozen waterfalls and snowy trails: Jasper day 2
My second day was a waterfalls day.

Frozen lakes and big trains: Jasper day 1
I started a bit late after a good night’s sleep. My new friends from last night showed up in the kitchen and dining room even later. We contemplated the day and decided to go our separate ways.
Jasper spring adventure: Hope to Jasper
By the time I got to Valemount, I was ready for the mountains. Mt. Robson obliged. Then the mountains near Moose Lake and around the Continental Divide.
