Today our bike adventure begins=D We biked North along the Athabasca river back towards town today and saw some Inukshuks. Bryan ended up building his own lol

Our first stop was at Old Fort Point, which is a really nice lookout point that isn't too hard to hike up. It still took us a while but it was small compared to some of the other trails around us. Most of the trails around this time are really muddy so this was one of the more accessible trails. I was SOO hoping to see some mountain goats but all we saw was poo... lots of poo. This is a picture of the base of the mountain beside the Athabasca river:

Here's me frowlicking in the hills.


The one thing I really like about Jasper is that its always cool. The weather never gets too hot and sticky but just right, except at night... its FREEEZING. We met a few people on the train that we saw here and there was one guy that stayed at a hotel and saw like SOOO many animals and we were like "WHAAA?? we're camping outside with the animals and we havn't seen anything bigger than a squirrel..." It was kinda sad.. lol The park ranger said we would need to buy some bear spray because we're traveling in groups of two. Its recommeded that you travel in groups of 6 so bears won't be as likely to approach you. When i got to the store i thought it was gonna be like a little bottle but it was like the size of a fire extinguisher! and $40!!! but we found a smaller version for the same price so we go that. Every time we went on a hike in the woods, we would carry it in hand LOL we were so scared haha

Tomorrorw we'll be heading up to the Jasper Tramway=D
