The Rockies! Day 2

Hi Everybody!!
I'm back again, to tell you about my second day at the Rockies.
The Rockies! Day 2

So on the second day, we headed out from the Blue River campground after a nice, cozy nights' sleep. (It was really cozy, because it was so warm in the car and so cold outside...) We were headed towards Jasper, Alberta. We were actually meaning to get there on the first day, but we decided to be on the safe side and stay at a campground for the night. So we drove for about an hour and half until we reached Jasper. Jasper was a pretty small town in Alberta, but the town was actually really nice. The buildings were really cool, they were like wood cabins that you would see in movies, and it was a really nice, homey feeling town. The people there were pretty friendly too! You should probably stop there. There's nothing much to see, but it was still nice to have a little break as we rested there. So after stopping at the visitor information centre and getting a bunch of pamphlets and brochures and maps and whatnot, we kept going towards Mt. Robson. I really recommend that you stop there. Mt. Robson is really beautiful, and it's supposed to be one of the tallest mountains in the world!! The

 hiking trails there are pretty long. It goes from 4km to about 21km. So we didn't hike. We just ate lunch at some picnic tables (And I tried my first coffee! ... I'm never trying it again.) and then went to pick blueberries!! The have this big blueberry field and anybody can just go there, pick a few blueberries and eat 'em. So you don't have to pay. The blueberries aren't your usual blueberries, however. They're really tiny. They're like mini blueberries, but they taste just as great as the normal sized ones. So if you stop by at Mt. Robson and you see a bunch of people bending over picking at something, follow them over there and try some!!

After filling ourselves with blueberries, we drove on to Maligne Lake and Medicine Lake. It took a little while to get there, and we just drove past Medicine Lake, but they were both really beautiful. The vastness and the colour of the lake was breathtaking. You should definitely stop there. Snap a few photos.

By the time we left the two lakes, it was about time to eat dinner, and so we drived and drived until we found another campground. It was called Wabasso. (Oh and by the way, all of the campgrounds that we went to had full hook-up) Wabasso was an O.K. campground. It was pretty clean, so I liked that. There were other ones, but they were all full or had no hook up, so we couldn't go. So after getting all settled in and laying out the sleeping bags, we ate dinner and eagerly climbed into the warm van and slept a deep sleep until morning.
END OF DAY 2

I hope you enjoyed reading about the second day at the rockies, and please stay tuned for more!!
