the bf had to come to jasper to give a speech so i tagged along (points ticket+free hotel room=good deal). we drove from edmonton thursday morning and it was a beautiful sunny drive along the yellowhead highway.
the second we got to jasper it started to rain and hasn't stopped since.
gotta say though it is insanely beautiful here. the jasper lodge is, in my mind, unusual for a fairmont property in it's level of casualness, although you have to dress up for dinner in the nice restaurant. we have a little suite in a cabin that has 4 rooms in it but we got the one facing the lake, which is gorgeous.
we saw some big horn sheep and mountain goats on our way into the park and there were deer grazing outside the main door of the hotel the other day. i'm hoping to see more on the drive out (no i'm not going hiking in the rain to find an elk).
we're driving to calgary tomorrow through the glaciers so that should be cool.
and now i might have a mid morning nap.
