Jasper National Park




The pictures tell the small and the big of it!
The sign at Mystery Lake explains the origin of the name. The lake disappears into cracks and fissures becoming nothing more than a trickling steam as the summer goes on. They have just found the outlet for this underground 'river' which is believed to be one of the longest known.
The picture of Annette Lake with Pyramid Mt in the background just gives a small hint of the vivid turquoise waters. Just great trails, peace and tranquility - and few people around to enjoy it all.
We saw mama bear and 2 cubs, golden mantled ground squirrels (VERY obnoxious!), marmot, mule deer, red squirrels and only a few birds today.
