This is Maligne Lake. It is about 30 miles outside of the town of Jasper. We headed here this morning. On the way we stopped at a deep canyon and did some hiking. Then we passed an interesting lake called Medicine Lake. Every year, by October, the lake drains away almost entirely! In the summer it can be as deep as 60 feet. We also saw our first real wildlife there. Two caribou were wading around in the water that was left. Then we arrived at Maligne Lake. We ate our lunch here and then hiked part way around the lake. Very pretty. After that we headed back toward Jasper to visit a couple other small lakes. After supper we decided to take a sunset ride. On the way we had about 5 elk cross the road near us. We got a picture, but as you can see it was into the setting sun. We also got some nice shots of the mountains in the waning light of day. Nice way to end a busy day in Jasper National Park.
Hope all is well with Everyone.
