Climbing into The Rockies

Back on board the Rocky Mountaineer we continued our trip towards Jasper and the Canadian Rockies. At first we saw more scenery like yesterday with frequent sightings of Bald Eagles by the rivers feeding on the spawning salmon. The arid area around Kamloops gave way to beautiful treed slopes and then more and more mountains

                   There were high waterfalls and the Pyramid Fall next to the tracks were the best

                                                The mountain scenery was spectacular

The rapids were spectacular as we followed the Upper Thompson and Fraser Rivers

The star event was the long run along the tracks near Mount Robson. This is the highest mountain in Canada.
There was only one sighting of a bear today and it was as we were walking up the stairs from our lunch in the dining area on the lower level. Missed it by 10 seconds!

                                                   We agreed to follow this Jasper edict!

                 Just for balance we support the Canadian beer industry along with the wineries
