Great video great view of the lake and waterfall. And glad you went to get some bear spray. That was cute seeing the bears playing. Thank you for the great video and I hope you have a great week. See you soon!
I learned in the U.S. that many people book and then no show if the weather isn’t great. For U.S. National parks there is now a penalty if you no show without cancelling. I doubt there are non-availables to book. I think there are no shows.
The provincial and national parks have to have a few campsites available for people who drive through. It’s been like that in Canada for a few years now. 🙂
As we reside fairly close to Jasper, we have been there a few times. (almost our backyard) Jasper tram 3 times including once with our children when they were growing up. Glad you enjoyed it.
That looked like fun. I don’t think my husband would go on the tram. He doesn’t like heights. So I wouldn’t have seen that part. I’m hoping someday we can get an even or something to go exploring.
Same annoying thing been seeing for years at Banff, everything looks booked full online, if ya get one night in, walk around n u can count like 30 sites empty easily. Drives me batty lol. Cool u saw bears in the vehicle. It's the only way I wanna see em to. Lovely view shots. 🍻
Actually, Maligne is pronounced "mah-leen" (rhymes with clean), in accordance with the French word origin. Maligne Lake was called Chaba Imne by the Stoney Nakoda First Nation people before Mary Schaffer named it Maligne Lake when she first mapped it; she chose that name due to the already mapped and named Maligne River running into it). I've heard many visitors (including on TH-cam) say "mah-line" (as if the word was malign rather than Maligne), but as a local, I can tell you that is not what we consider the correct pronunciation. And of course, neither is "mah-lig-nee". But language is always in flux, and whose to say that the more people use the "mah-line" pronunciation, the greater the likelihood that will be considered acceptable. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. However you call it, it's a beautiful place.
It’s nice that you were able to take Carmen with you on the sky lift. The view looks great from you are at.
Bear bells also known as dinner bells.

Whistlers was just rebuilt after most of the trees had been killed with pine beetles. It had been closed down for over 2 years.
The red chairs are actually placed in areas less popular to entice people to visit.

Whistlers just opened last year after being closed for renovations and upgrades.. 🙂
Ahh, well that explains why it's in better shape. We'd gladly to back to either campground though!
FYI, Wapiti is pronounced Wap-it-ee and Maligne is pronounced Ma-line.
