We had planned to visit the Jasper Sky Tram, but rain and low clouds made us reconsider... We headed straight to Miette Hot Springs instead. It was raining steadily by the time we entered the pools, but that only added to the fun! Bill and the girls braved the cold pool, while I stayed toasty warm in the "cooler" of the two hot pools. (The hottest pool is 104 degrees!)
I had packed a picnic lunch, but there was no covered picnic area... So, we decided to drive to a scenic overlook and enjoy a car picnic. On our way out of the parking lot, we encountered a family of goats who were very interested in the truck/camper parked behind us. And, on the way to our picnic, we saw a small black bear scrambling through the woods. Later in the day, we spotted mountain goats. Three sightings today... Woohooo!
After lunch, we drove back to town, explored the Fairmont Jasper Lodge, walked through a few downtown shops, and then headed back to our room. Bill went for a run, I did some laundry, and the girls played in the loft. (The hotel made an error, and gave us a large family suite!) Dinner was take out pizza, a rousing game of Uno, followed by a swim.
We have every intention of leaving early tomorrow, but another late bedtime has me wondering...
