Following a drive that lasted almost 4 hours, we finally arrived at Jasper National Park, the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies and part of UNESCO's Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. We were immediately greeted by some wildlife upon our arrival.
It was about to get dark so rather than finding a dinner venue, we decided to first check into our hotel, Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre.

The lounge, restaurant and bar were all located on the ground floor of the hotel.
Wow, is this real!?
We finally decided to have supper at Walter's Dining Room, a casual restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel, which is known for its wide selection of Canadian inspired dishes with indigenous twist. But first, it was time to check out our room.
Not the most stylish design but it's at least reasonably sized.
The bathroom was spotless but like the bedroom, it was a little boring.
After enjoying a good night of sleep, we spent some time to explore the hotel front and back the next morning. A heated pool, nice.
Very nice mountain view from the front. Too bad we didn't have it right from our room.
We got a full day of activities ahead of us. Time to take off.
And it didn't take long before we had to pause our drive for some beautiful shots.
Beautiful Athabasca River with mountains in the backdrop.
Athabasca Pass

Columbia Icefield
Bow Lake
We finally arrived at Lake Louise just before sunset.
The budget approved wasn't enough to cover the cost for us to stay at Chateau Lake Louise.
But that didn't stop us from coming in for a quick look.
If it wasn't for our tight schedule, we would have sat down here for a drink while we admire Lake Louise at sunset.
