Jasper, Alberta, Canada – Part 2 – Introducing our granddaughter to the Rocky Mountains

As children, my husband and I were fortunate to spend many holidays with our parents in Jasper. We made sure to take our children to the mountains often over the years.

This trip was the first for our granddaughter. She loved it there as much as we did. And we loved sharing our experiences with her.

We stayed at Miette Hot Springs,

 

Hiked to the source,

Enjoyed a dip in the hot pool and built a fire to roast marshmallows.

In the town of Jasper, we spent a couple of hours scouring the gift shops (the munchkin had money burning a hole in her purse).

Bear Hugs from Jasper

and another couple of hours at Athabasca falls watching the rapids and falls and then crawling through the canyon at the bottom.

The munchkin and her mother rode the Jasper Sky Tram too.

 

And grandma couldn’t resist buying her a second bear. After all a girl can never have enough stuffies.

Finally, we stopped to view the town of Jasper from the bottom of the Sky Tram.

No matter how many times we’ve been, we never get tired of Jasper.

Jasper, Alberta, Canada — Part 3 – Look what I found.

Me: We’re taking the munchkin to Jasper for a few days.

My ultra ursaphobic friend: Watch out for the bears.

Me: Hey, girl, I know you’re terrified of them, but don’t worry. We have bear bells.

My ultra ursaphobic friend: Bells! Ha! They’re just an invitation to dinner.

 

Tell me this isn’t the perfect shirt for her!!!
