Day 15
: Tramway to Heaven & The Athabasca falls.
Tuesday 6th August 2013
Another overcast day brings us to The famousAriel tramway.
The tramway was built in 1964 & still uses the original carriages..
Once at the top of Whistler Mountain we enjoyed views over Jasper. 1005m up we can see over the clouds.
Then made our way further up the mountain on foot..
Some made it further than others..Sir Ian & Sherpa Hollie made it to the top of the world.
I was reliably informed by Ian that the view over the other side, was of "Brown Mountains" Thank God I didn't struggle right to the top, with a vivid description like that.
Back in Jasper the rain clouds clear slightly..
We find a nice cafe for soup & sandwiches,
Next Athabasca falls..
We were suprised by the intensity of these little falls..
Ian & Hollie headed down stream and saw some intrepid rafters putting in for a late afternoon white water ride.
Foot bridges & trails allow you to view almost every angle, Signs warn visitors to stay off the slippery rocks as the falls claim a new victim every couple of years in the icy waters.
Then rain sent us scuttling for the car.
Bad weather means an inside dinner & some games of Cribbage.
Well Goodnight all sleep well xxx
& Jo we are not pleased thet Marmite seems to have unsupervised access the the internet..Hope he hasn't been looking at pics of semi clad lady doggies!!! Baby Austin already seems to have worked out that nothing happens straight forwardly in the Austin household..Kisses for all xxx
