Banff National Park - Jarvis Lake Alberta

Day 4 – Tuesday, August 2 2005
Banff National Park – Jarvis Lake, Alberta
Miles Driven: 199

Leaving Banff National Park we continued on Hwy 93 through Jasper National Park along the Icefields Highway stopping many times for pictures. Some of the stops were along the Saskatchewan River, at the Columbia Icefields, and Horseshoe Lake. (A little photo-shop work on this picture to show us together) We stopped in Jasper to browse the gift shops before heading northeast on Hwy 16, The Yellowhead Highway, to Hinton where we re-stocked our supplies. From Hinton we took Hwy 40, The Bighorn Highway, a paved highway that goes from Hinton to Grande Prairie. At 1:30 PM we stopped for the night at Jarvis Lake campground (about 10 miles from Hinton) where we enjoyed a nice quiet afternoon. Unfortunately our quiet time ended around 6:00 PM when a large group of people with two fifth-wheels and a big motor home camped next to us and proceeded to party with their music blasting until 2:00 AM. I don’t know why some people are so inconsiderate, thinking only of themselves.
