We awoke to a beautiful, clear and sunny morning. Today, we will travel back into JNP for a ride on the Jasper Tramway.
We left the RV Park at 9:30 and drove directly to the Jasper Tram arriving at approximately 10:45. Each Tram car holds 26 occupants and it takes about 10-12 minutes for a round trip. We purchased our tickets and found that our gondola will depart at 12:00 noon. An hours' wait isn't too bad.
We boarded promptly at noon and occupied the space at the rear of the car (where we could look out over the Jasper valley). The trip to the 7500' peak was quick and the view breath taking!! On top we took several photos and had lunch.

When we returned to the parking lot, we took a side trip and went to Lake Maligne, which lies 25 miles off the main road. Boy, did we make the right decision!! The lakes and granite crags were spectacular. The Maligne River reminds us of the Lochsa, only smaller and on a steeper grade.
We returned to the RV Park a little after 6:00. Tired, but well satisfied with our day!!
Tomorrow we will move to an RV Park near Banff and spend the next three days site seeing Banff Natl Park.
