 We explored Jasper all we could, and stayed at the awesome Pyramid Lake resort just out of town. Wonderful lake and mountain view, but we didn't hike the nearby trails because a Grizzly Bear had just walked down through the resort, swam in the lake, and disappeared just before we arrived. They take their Grizzlies serious around here! Lots of hikes and relaxation, plus great food here.Then, off in our car again, headed for Lake Louise, Post Hotel,  for some more mountain adventures before getting on the train for Vancouver.  Athabasca Falls Ice Fields Highway Sherye's Buck!
