Vacation - Day 4: Banff to Jasper


Today we're heading to jasper. On the way there we went to a bunch of the sites along the way, including crow feet glacier, bow glaciers and fall, peyto canyon, mystaya canyon and Columbia glacier.

We took an "ice explorer" to the actual glacier and got to go on it which was pretty cool. I also got to taste some glacier water which was quite cold but tasty if you ask me! :)

Right now we're on the road again on the way to jasper which I'd supposedly only another hour away, so we shall see... We left columbia glacier around 6PM.

We didn't get into Jasper until late. We were going to stay there however apparently the Rodeo had been there the past few days, and today was the lsat day of the rodeo, so all the hotels in Jasper were booked. We were forced to go to Hinton (a few towns over, maybe like 45 mins away) to find a hotel. We stayed at a Best Western. We literally got there, got some food, went to sleep, got breakfast and left for Jasper.
