Saturday September 17 - Jasper to Fairmont Hot Springs



This was a travel day from Jasper to Fairmont Hot Springs along the Icefield Parkway.  It had its own beauty in the fog and rain even though the views were very different, we enjoyed it greatly.  Dottie and Cheri got to journal on the way down.










We stopped at our lunch spot at the Bow Lake where we all had bowls of bison chili.  Yummy!!  And Dottie and John had the most delicious cornbread too.

As we pulled into Fairmont Hot Springs, the weather cleared and we arrived at our bungalow cabins.  Each couple had a cute little cabin and we mean little!  Dottie felt as though she was playing doll houses.  Each had a bedroom, a bath room and a tiny kitchenette.  Both were at the edge of a steep creek bed and both looked as though they could fall into the creek at any time, yet they were cute as could be.  Nice flowers on the porch and a gas grill. 



We sat on the Frament's porch and enjoyed a beer/margarita, some chips, and a sandwich.  Once we were sated, we went exploring.  We noticed there was a bear alert at the Fairmont hot springs hotel about a mile from our cabin. We bought another 6 pack of beer and headed back to our cabins.  John had driven all day and was pooped.  He turned in.  Cheri, Dottie and Paul played a round of cards (hearts) where Paul won, Dottie came in 2nd and Cheri lost, while we enjoyed a beer.  Everyone slept well that night.
