Tuesday was our last day of vacation. We just had to drive to Edmonton and we would be done.
But, we didn’t think we were in that big a rush, so we checked out the Wells Gray park nearby. Our Airbnb host was a good champion of the park and even had brochures ready, and recommended trails and stops. We decided to pass on some of the hikes, because we didn’t have too much time, but we did drive to all the highlights.
It was a very beautiful park. There were waterfalls everywhere. It has a history of glaciation and volcanic activity that makes those waterfalls so prevalent. I would have liked to have spent longer there and seen more. Maybe another time.
But we must have spent too long there, because in the end, we didn’t get back home until after eleven o’clock.
We had a lunch at the “Clearwater Stop” restaurant, because a friend had recommended it for good German food. And the Jager Schnitzel was good. I think we were in a very German area, because a LOT of the other tourists in the park were speaking German.
In Jasper, we ate at the “D’ed Dog Diner”. Last year it has a great “Big Game Burger”. This year, that burger was overcooked. My travelling companion was over-tired at that point and was taking it very personally afterwards. If I had let her continue her rant, it would have ended with the Diner being burnt down and the ashes sown with salt. I was in a more forgiving mood and would give them another shot.
