[Canada] Camping in Whistler to Jasper National Park from the 10 hours drive from Vancouver's sister arrived home

From Banff National Park to Jasper leading up to the national park in Canada's most beautiful tourist 230km-long road 'Icefields Parkway (Icefields Parkway)' and looking around one day, and today's just below the hostel in Jasper Whistler (Whistler) arrived at the campsite.

RV camping site dedicated to this chapter, including 177 of 781 of all the camp ground, which is probably the single camping camping not want the world's largest. As you can see signs of RV-only where the vacancy is not there, we remained well. All, including the Fire Permit $ 8.8 $ 36.2 some expensive pay. (Note that this is the top of the famous ski resort in Vancouver Winter Olympics 'Whistler' is not, in Jasper Mt. Whistler camping below)

I try to hold evening camping spot ... gas (gas) ran out. So, I went alone to the city of Jasper company was able to have a hammock in the evening. 2 $ 5 Wal-Mart is that you can not play one without the hiking supply stores for $ 08 and bought them. Prices are in Canadian National Parks seem to be really expensive. Wood fire in the dessert dinner eating a baked sweet potato, camping in two weeks wisdom, and his wife is the wood fire was put well ... ^ ^ Canadian National Parks in the Fire Permit to buy a number of fire and smoke, which he Instead unlimited firewood provided. A kind of "wood buffet.

Camping firewood for use on the following break-even enough to take that idea of ​​wanting to pull out in the morning he went camping or where the state chapter is laid up for firewood. But not too skinny no roof, glass smoking debris, there are many fire was difficult. (You should have seen the sight which is directly firewood wife ...)
Camping in the morning to eat, firewood fill the empty space in the trunk of the car all the luggage came out clean and the city of Jasper. Original plan was to go up the road along the river dried out Medicine (Medicine), and dried (Maligne) Lake and Jasper visiting the city today and tomorrow is a better day camp I go to Vancouver, but there are plenty of great lakes like this one looking around the city by car, but decided to float here.

Swiss-style building in beautiful ... but, Banff also saw a lot. So, the oil from the gas station and fill the car back from Vancouver! Be brought back to where you do not know when, but one thing to change the plan did not seem to have much regret. Place the second week camping trip seemed a little tired ... I had

Jasper more than 16 times, the road to the Rocky Mountains just west of Mount Robson, British Columbia State Park (Mount Robson Provincial Park) is attached. And here's another Canadian Rocky Mountains National Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site along with it to the specified location, Mount Robson is ... where are you?

The idea that ... but my wife is a quick look back. "How can I look at driving?" So, my wife gave me to take a picture. Towers reflected in the side mirror standing blocking the road Robson is a mountain view. (Running on a road trip in two weeks to take pictures of the car that you're taking pro ^ ^) in the clouds that cover the top of the pyramid-shaped mountain Robson 3,954 m above sea level, including in Banff and Jasper National Park is the highest mountain in the region .

Now turning point of the trip ... Here Lat 53 turn road 'potato-shaped "30-day trip in the north of the entire root area corresponding to the vertices, and nearly half of the 30-day schedule is the 14 th day because it was the spatial / time of 30 days on a camping trip this corresponds to the turning point was the moment. However, two lines of that mountain where there is no wood to cut a tree out of the old place is? Marks on the road that is surrounded by mountains that were a lot like that.

The beginning of a long drive. I take the fifth road is now going down south, the road's name is "Yellow Head Highway '.

A small town in the middle of nowhere to eat lunch, I saw navigation sister likely to arrive at 7 o'clock had phones. And the wife Kamloops was driving up to two hours. I shot in the back, which seems far Kamloops pretty big city. Vancouver, Kamloops and Jasper is just a transportation hub in the middle, which is where the problem was ... I choose the wrong way to see the map below ...

It is approximately 800km from Vancouver to Jasper 8 hours 40 minutes out that Google Maps. However, this is a map Kamloops in Merritt crosses the straight 5A riding down the road, if at all. By the way, why do I fall into the side of Cache Creek down past the turn come? Section 5A at me because navigation is a toll road (Toll Road) because it came out. Preview 'roughly' know about this immediately called the toll was $ 10. Is that why I've been turned down, farther distance 70km, time it took almost an hour and a half or more. In addition, the narrow roads along the valley created two lanes in most of the big truck driving was hard to hang out a lot. Therefore, the toll is much going at 5A would have been a wise choice. However, the shape sister to get home, not paying tolls, and because it took more time to try to come back ... "The road toll in November last year, not easier?"

At the end of almost 10 hours of driving Vancouver Fraser (Fraser) Port Mann Bridge crossing the river had arrived. Across the river in Coquitlam The good cigar comes only a year and a half sister of the family reunion and will be waiting for a sweet break. So our family of a 30-day camping trip in the western half is over.
