No bears today.
Today we drove to the Maligned lake which is about 1 hour from the town of Jasper where we are staying.
On the way we saw a wolf, then around the corner we saw a moose which was super exiting until we used google lens to identify them. Turns out it was a coyote and an elk. Oh well.
Maligne lake was still mostly frozen but starting to thaw. It was beautiful surrounded by mountains. We took a little walk, snapping photos. Then we saw a waffle hut. It was the only place open and we were starving.
We chose the bacon and egg waffle, which was very sweet but very delicious.
We then visited the Maligne canyon. This was an hours walk around the canyon. It was nice, but very busy. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the Johnston canyon we saw the other day. then we ran into our friends we keep seeing, a German couple who we met a couple of days ago. They thought this canyon was better.
We found a Starbucks on the way back to town with free parking, so we parked outside while I used their wifi to upload a video.
Then we did some grocery shopping as we’re very low on supplies. Everything is more expensive in Canada!
We’re going to have a rest day tomorrow and Mike needs to fix our windscreen wiper which broke.
The Alaska highway is still closed due to fires, which is a real bummer as i really wanted to drive it. But there is an alternate route which it looks like we’ll have to take.
We’ll find out more on Monday.
