From Bear Lake/Crooked River Provincial park, it was south towards Prince George. It's a big city with everything you would need, so we stocked up on essential's. Beer, liquor and coffee! Also spent a few minutes at a coffee shop and took advantage of the wifi to update our friends and family.
After getting back on the road there were a few stops.
Stopped at this rest area
And saw this bear
Some amazing mountains

Into Alberta and the awesome town of Jasper!!
So awesome we will stay here for 2 days. More on that later!
Spent the evening wandering around town a bit.
Little dude, doing what he does!
Wheeled down the Icefields Parkway and found Whistlers campground!
At the check in kiosk, the lady asks if we will be staying in a tent, to which I reply, "Nope, we are staying in this bad boy!" Which doesn't do much for her. But Lucas loves it! And he turns it into Big Bad Boy! Which we promptly add to the Whitey Jay's name! So from here on out, until further notice, we are now living in Big Bad Boy Whitey Jay!!
The campground was pretty empty and we had a nice quiet spot close by the bathrooms and a short walk to the playground and showers.
The playground shared a large open area with an amphitheater and a small herd of elk. There was one little guy who was bouncing around and playing like a dog! Trying to coax all the others into some playtime! To no avail however. But it was fun to watch him try!
After some playtime for us, and hot dogs for dinner, we settled in for a good sleep!

Spent the morning drinking coffee and looking at what's in store for the day!
Focusing on the task at hand!
Or, maybe it's not that hard!
Thought about riding the tram but at 30 bucks each, decided the gas tank needed the money more.
Came across this guy on the way to camp from the playground.
