Day 49 August 23 Whistlers National Park, Jasper, AB

We can not believe it, we woke to a sunny day and no real clouds or rain in the forecast.   Miracles do happen!  With this glorious day ahead of us, we decided to do a boat trip on Maligne Lake to Spirit Island.  Below are just a few of the too many we snapped.   I try to only put in pictures with of of the ensemble in it, but the scenery was just too great.   Our pictures do not represent what we are seeing very well.

Driving down from Maligne lake, we came across these stone sheep.   After watching them from afar, we climbed down to them and got some closer shots.

That's Ken in the background.   He got a great shot of Karen with this sheep about 10 minutes later.

After the sheep photo shot, we headed out to Maligne Canyon.   Another great walk with great shots. If you look carefully, you should be able to find Karen on the bridge.

We had not seen any deer until this one popped up in front of us.

Elk are everywhere in Jasper.  This one is wearing a radio collar...we're not sure why.

Karen wanted to go out to eat at the Jasper Lodge.   We had bison burgers.   We're not sure what the relationship is between this head and our dinner.

Meanwhile just outside our campsite, here is our latest pet!  No collar on this brute.

Another one, later on that evening.
