Day 12 - 25 July Jasper Rest DayRest Day.I had to set up camp in the overflow camp ground again, all the parks were booked out. Tent ended up being in the same spot as yesterday for $10 a night.

Just trying to make up the miles today so I can spend a few extra days at Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies. I tried to source a front tyre in Prince George as my front knobby is starting to chop out. Made contact with every store in town with no luck. I cou...
