Jasper National Park Ice Fields


 On Friday the 26th we traveled from Hinton to Dawson Creek BC 286 miles. Along the way there was a scheduled stop at Jasper National National Park Icefields.

We were taken by bus up the mountain where we boarded a six wheel drive ice cat.

The weather on the mountain was cold, windy, raining and absolutely miserable. We spent about 5 minutes on the glacier before we were soaking wet and got back on the bus,

This is Sean our driver, he was the best part of our visit. He was funny and very knowledgeable about glaciers. He had a running commentary about the history and specific glacier behavior.
