Jasper

12 July – Thursday

A rest day today – I spent the morning wandering around the commercial district while Les “rested.” The weather is very hot (about 35 degrees) so we decided to give the Edith Cavell area a miss as there is no vegetation, only rock in this part of the Jasper National Park. Instead, we decided to visit the local “beach” at a nearby lake – water temperature is a mild 6 degrees, before driving to the Miette Hot Springs for another thermal soak. Whilst it was very hot, both in and out of the water, it was still a very enjoyable past time.
