We are so lucky this campground is actually used by loads of Elks and their calves and as we walk around they are literally everywhere - huge things! Jacq takes a selfie with an Elk, "selkie", and we make tracks for Jasper town to check our emails (boring solicitor stuff) whilst there we find a cafe that does coffee, laundry and Wi-Fi so we take full advantage and grab a couple of flat whites. Our flat sale situation demands that we stay near Jasper tomorrow wit...

We head to Metarie hot springs first thing, wondering how natural they actually are as we've often found hot springs that are not. On route we meet a family of Bears with two little Cubs by the roadside, everyone is stopping for pics - we got some and a video - the Bears were very obliging! The source of the springs is actually from the mountain and shockingly it's like 55 degrees when it reaches the base, it has to be cooled down by at least 10 degrees before i...

So, we set off today towards Valmont thinking we'll stop at Mount Robson overnight - the views are getting much more mountainous as we pass the Monas mountains and Mount Robson itself, the highest of the Rockies, is only 60km away. So, we get some great snaps and opt to drive further into Jasper allowing us more time to explore this huge National park. As we approach it we reach a toll booth - we must pay for day passes in advance for as long as we want to stay ...

We aim to head out towards Mud Lake today hopping to see some new sights. The drive is nice and weather improves as we go. 3 hours later the sat nav can't seem to find the lake so we stop at a water safari park to ask for directions - they laugh at the thought of us getting our RV down there apparently it would be a mission and get scratched up beyond repair so recommend the Blue River RV park. We opt to settle for it, it's nice but the recreation parks are so m...

We're still following our plan of 3 hour drives a day, at least we're trying to! 2 weeks to do this journey is a bit much so we have to spread it out thankfully there's just so much to see! We make tracks driving to Liloet on route Jacq spots a big black Bear in a piece of land next to someone's house just munching on the plants - we turn around and get a good look at him - boy is he big! He's gorgeous though and starts to walk away, his butt is the biggest by f...
