Hiking and Driving Part 2

Blogger is screwing up. Had to divide the days travel into two parts

Close to McBride I happened to notice something running through the high weeds/small bushes on the left ditch and made a very quick decision to hit the brakes "just in case". Good call by me, as a bear ran out onto the road and noticed me when he was half way across the road so he turned left and starting running down the middle of the road as I continued to slow right down. He then decided we must be dangerous so he high tailed it back the way he came! Exciting moments for sure

Close to Mount Robson on the western side we stopped at another hike location called RearGuard Falls. Very nice

Apparently only the biggest Chinook salmon can make it past these falls so this is pretty much the end of the salmon run (very close to the Alberta border actually).

A late lunch was at Mt. Robson and then we carried on to Jasper where we went to Pyramid Lake and walked around (a wedding was being held there at the time) and later Caro enjoyed Ribfest food at the 1st annual Jasper Ribfest.

We were home shortly before 9 PM.

Today is our 35th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful day
