A lovely long weekend spent camping up in Jasper National Park. Had lovely weather on the way up on Friday then come Monday morning we awoke to snow on the tent! Made the journey home interesting

All pics taken on a Fuji Finepix J150w 10.0mp.

First 3 are from the roadside on the Icefields Parkway which links Lake Louise to Jasper. 140 miles of stunning scenery

A brief stop on the way up and a short walk up through the snow to Peyto Lake, worth the effort!

another brief stop at Athabasca Falls

next day and a trip to Maligne Lake, still a bit frozen in mid May!

Campsite at Whistlers, Jasper

then onto Pyramid Mountain overlooking Pyramid Lake

Valley of the 5 Lakes. the colours speak for themselves

and then we woke up to this as our journey home! we did get to see a black bear tho' which cheered us up. no photo, sorry!

Excellent photos Mark - looks amazing. Would love to cover this area on my next trip out

Particularly like one of your lakeside shots, where you can see into the water too - crystal clear
