The Road to Jasper

Leaving North Cascades, we drove north (ACROSS THE BORDER, first visit to Canada for Onions).  This was a long driving day, so we stopped in Vancouver for Chinese Food.  Here we are at the famed (in the Chen family) Shanghai River!




From Vancouver, we decided to take the scenic route to Jasper that took us along the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler and then over the mountains into central British Columbia.

Onions jumping for joy at the scenery.  Little did he know this was just a preview of what was to come.

The next day was our last overcast day of the entire trip.  Here's an obstructed Mount Robson, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies.

We got to Jasper and our campsite.  FYI, American campsites are surprisingly a lot better in our opinion.  Canadian campsites are too close together.

Since we couldn't see any of the scenery (we would the next day!), we decided to head up to the Miette Hot Springs (recognize a pattern?) for the evening.  Hot springs turned out to serve a dual purpose, the secondary one.....showers.
