Day 9. Valemount to Jasper. May 6. 122 km.

 

Entering Mt Robson National Park

 

This was a 122 km day, which started the with a forecast of rain all day. Fortunately it didn't rain and we made it to Jasper in about 8 hours. Google maps says that it's mostly flat but with loaded panniers, it seemed to have some hills. When we left the motel, it was about 2-4C. Fortunately it warmed up as the day progressed.

Today we saw the mountains in their true beauty. There was still a lot of snow on them.

We also saw more pipeline work. I took a picture of the wooden roads that they build to lessen the environmental impact.

Dinner today was a brisket burger at Montana's, with excellent fries.
