Jasper Camp 2022

 Sep 2-5, Jasper Camp 

Some of us actually stayed in the tent

This group selected two different approaches to get to Jasper.

One group witnessed a sunset over the burning forest

The other group enjoyed a sunrise behind them

Both groups made our rendezvous at the Edith Cavell parking lot

View of Angel Glacier

Yanek, Jola, Asia, Andy, Beata and Andrzej

Personally, I think it is a Dove Glacier now, or maybe an Eagle Glacier

We all remember it as an Angel, about 30 years ago

At that time the tail was touching the lake 

Reaching the Ridge was fun

Reaching the East Ridge Summit @2560 was even more rewarding

We all had a chance to enjoy the beauty of the Lake from way above

as well as from the lake level 

Hike was almost completed 

Back at the parking lot the group was joined by the family from Wroclaw

Martyna, Asia, Janek, Kaya, Milosz, Witek, Yanek, Jola, Beata and Andrzej  

(Photographer's luck, Andy is taking the picture... again)

This is what I recorder with AllTrails for this one 

After all, it was real Jasper Camp

Our concert, lead by Asia continued (with the volume down) pass the curfew hour

Day two adventure is the hike of the Opal Hills

We started with the quick break

Opal Hills is not a difficult hike, but it is steep all the way to the meadows

But, once you are out of the woods... Fun began

Maligne Lake from Opal Hills

FYI, if you are hiking Opal Hills

DO NOT SKIP THE SIDE HIKE TO THE VIEW POINT

It might be windy and ruining your hairdo, but it is worth the extra effort

Quick break with the lunch before the meadows

Most likely you want to see this place, so I will leave it to your imagination

 

Trail end.. almost
