Yesterday we had our second day on The Rocky Mountaineer. What a totally wonderful experience. The people were so incredibly nice and helpful we hated to get off of the train. But when we got to Jasper, Alberta we did disembark. We spent the night at the Jasper Park Lodge. There were elk grazing all around the grounds.
Yesterday I had taken so many pictures that I developed a cramp in my finger. Thus, a bad case of "shutter finger." I hope that you;ll agree that it was worth it.
Today we took a private tour of Jasper National Park and the Icefields We drove through the Canadian Rockies which are spectacular! Then we stopped at Athasbasca Falls.
From there we continued on to the Columbia Icefield Centre and a trip up the glacier. We actually got to walk on the glacier and see other glaciers. We rode on an ice explorer, a vehicle made to drive over the ice fields in Antarctica.
Tonight we are at Lake Louise in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. We have been having wonderful gourmet meals and nothing can compare with the scenery that we have surrounding us.
Tomorrow we are on to Banff National Park. More then.
