British Columbia - 2023 - to Jasper via Clearwater

 After a nice self made breakfast, it was time to checkout and drive to Clearwater. The drive across British Columbia is beautiful. I have done this one time before and was looking forward to the scenery.

We came across views like the photos below all along. There was not much hiking, except short ones to see waterfalls. 


Lunch was a picnic by the river. Clearwater was just a small camping place but we had a lodge booked for us at Clearwater Valley Resort. It was a large room divided into three portions - a small bedroom with 2 queen beds, and the living room with the king bed and the kitchen. It was comfortable. It was evening by the time we reached here. 
In the morning we went to get some bread and cheese at the grocery store. 
And then we were off to Jasper. We have a couple stops to make today to see waterfalls and mountains.

There was a short hike to see Reargard waterfalls. The water is just a beautiful color. Sarvesh was able to fly his drone and we got a great view of the falls and river.

Mount Robinson park was inaccessible by car. One can only hike in here, so we just went to the visitor center and took some photos. 
Mount Robson
Then it was to Jasper. We checked in at Lobstick Lodge. This was the most expensive of all our hotel stays. There were two rooms, living room, kitchen and yes - one bathroom. It was early evening. There was time for dinner and then enjoy the sunset at one of the many lakes around. Dinner was Famoso pizza (thin crust - good) and sunset was at Patricia lake. 

Time to go for ice cream in downtown Jasper. Thank god for my allergies to cold because I do like ice cream! That was it for the day. Lovely day...lots of driving. We are here one more night, tomorrow will be some hiking around Jasper.
