Sleep in today.
Today we caught a bus to the Jasper Tramway to near the top of The Whistlers Mountain (not Whistler the town - two different things).
The tramway has two cars - one starts at the bottom and goes up and down one side and the other starts at the top on the other side - thus they are not called gondolas because you don't sit in them and go around on a loop, you just go up or down and have to squeeze up to 23 people in standing up.

Jasper - note it is shaped like a "J".
Two of the freight trains that we saw. Let's hope they aren't going to delay us again when we catch the train to Prince George :(
Beauvert Lake.

Pyramid Mountain.
Marmot mountain?
The rain is coming...we got a little wet walking back to the Chateau Jasper. We had tried the hotel to our left last night for dinner as their menu was cheaper than our hotel and we were a bit far out of town and tonight we went to the hotel on our right as they had 'happy hour' from 5-6pm - the sort of happy hour I like - all food 50% off! Made for a much cheaper meal for us all.
