Here are some pictures from our recent trip to Alberta. We were heading to Lac la Biche , which is 2 hours north-east of Edmonton , Alberta, to visit our oldest son. If we had driven straight through, it would have taken about 14 hrs. It's about 1000 km from here. We love camping and hiking in the Rockies , so we always plan to take our time and enjoy the mountains coming and going. This time we left Kamloops about 3 in the afternoon and spent the first night at Clearwater in a provincial park on the North Thompson river. From there we went to Mt. Robson provincial park. Then we spent 2 nights in Jasper doing some exploring and then 1 night in Edmonton before arriving in Lac la Biche.

Medicine Lake on the way to Maligne Lake. This lake is a special "disappearing lake that has underground springs that drain the water at differnt times of the year. This was the fullest we've ever seen it.

We had a lot of rainy weather for the 3 and half weeks we were gone ,so I didn't get as many pictures of the mountains as I usually do.
