On Saturday morning we were on the road by 8:30 and heading south down Hyw 40 to connect up with the Yellowhead Hwy. Turned west on the Yellowhead and arrived in Jasper about 11:00 am where celebrations were going on to celebrate their 100th anniversary. The National Parks staff had set up several displays to inform the public what they do.
After lunch and another gas fill up we headed back west along Hwy 16 to Mount Robson Provincial Park. The centre point being Mount Robson the highest mountain in the Rockies.
After setting up our tents we took in some more sights including Rearguard Falls the last set of falls on the Fraser River that the Chinook Salmon can navigate over. Only the biggest and best make it that far. Unfortunately we missed the run. Brad had witnessed the run last August - too bad we missed it this year.Another set of falls further up the Fraser are the Overlander Falls which the salmon can't make it over.
Mount Terry Fox is viewed from a beautiful park setting.
Our camp site was on a cliff above the Robson River.
The park was busy with several family tenting. Another cool night with the sounds of the Robson River running down below. A family of deer were wandering around when we awoke.
