Another update, since my last post I've bee to Edmonton and Jasper.

Edmonton is not really a tourist place but I got to see their 'giant' mall which wasn't actually that big. It did have a small 'theme park' and a water park inside it but even so shop wise it was pretty unimpressive I think the Bull Ring could match it for shops, so a bit disappointed. I ended up leaving after just one day and got the bus to Jasper.

Jasper was amazing, the town is beautiful the hostel was an old ski lodge, it was pretty cold there but not too bad luckily it didn't rain either for the time I was there. I got there Wednesday afternoon so I decided to hike up a bit of the mountain behind the hostel for a while. The next day I went on a trail hike to LakePyramid which took me the full day getting there and back but was really worth it, the trail took me all the way through the woods and then comes out by the lake which is really pretty.

After I got back from my hike I went to the SunDog office where I was getting picked up for my wildlife watching tour. It was really good the tour guide really enjoyed his job and knew a lot about the local wildlife, we ended up seeing eight bears in total and a mother with two cubs, lots of elk and deer and also a coyote and a lynx which was good. We also got to have a nice tour of the National Park as that's where he was driving us.

On my last day I went to town and looked around for a little while and then I came back up the mountain and finished my hike up the mountain. I got to the point where it was just snow on the path so I turned around and headed back down again. It was a really great town to visit, it is surrounded by mountains and lakes and forest so it was really laid back and relaxing. That is about all for now, 20 days left!
