Another Gorgeous Snap Happy Day

After celebrating Canada Day in Jasper, we were glad to go into the wild again. Within 5 minutes we saw a herd of elk and 10 minutes later we arrived at Sixth Bridge.

This is our silly picture of the day. Dad and Sophie were teasing Mum and it took a while to realise that we weren't pointing at anything.

As we left Sixth Bridge, a lady stopped us and told us two coyotes had attacked her dog. Luckily the dog was larger and able to defend itself but as you can see, they still had their eye on it.

This is the Fifth Bridge. It's a tame suspension bridge compared to the one in Vancouver.

We went to Maligne Canyon because we felt that the Forth Bridge might just be a rotten plank of wood. It was very deep here and beautiful!

There were steps down into the Canyon and we were a bit worried about how steep it was for climbing back up.

The rushing water ran past remaining ice from the big freeze over Winter. They do guided tours down the gorge when it's iced over and the pictures we saw looked fantastic. We'd love to come back to see it.

This is Dad and Sophie on the bridge over Maligne Gorge.

Almost at river level.

Dad at the start of the steep climb up.

Phew! Sophie's not hot and sweaty really :o) Welcoming the photo just for a breather.

There is a boulder lodged at the top of the gorge. There was a tree growing out of it and everything!

More rushing water on the way up to the Teahouse for well deserved refreshments.

At the top.

The water is flowing gently because it's on a level just before it reaches a downhill rush.

A mountain scene from the car as we drove.

Picnic by the river, shame about the insects.

We caused a traffic jam because we saw this lovely deer across the lake.

This bear was feeding by Medicine Lake.

Leaving Jasper tomorrow and heading down the road towards Banff. Getting closer to the Calgary Stampede; we'll let you know if we see Will and Kate.
