Maligne Canyon, Jasper Skytram and Mt. Whistler

From yesterday's outing I forgot to mention our visit to Maligne Canyon, formed by the Maligne River running out of the lake we visited. About 30km downstream, the river has cut a deep and narrow canyon, with numerous "potholes" formed when abrasive materials (rocks, sand etc.) swirl around and form vertical holes in the rock. It's hard to get a real perspective from the photos, but it was really cool in person.

We took the Sky Tram up Mt Whistler a ways. Still a hike to the summit though!

Juno got a dog ticket for the Jasper Sky Tram. A somewhat stressful experience for her.

Mt Robson from summit of Mt Whistler. Apparently this view is only visible about 30 days per year due to weather.

With that, we're heading south on the Icefields Parkway this morning to explore the southern part of Jasper. No cell or Internet expected for a couple of days.
