Hiking through Jasper National Park

Although it was stopped raining since we started the trail, still the remains were visible. Small rivers were swollen into swirling streams. As result, we got wet shoes and socks. Streams until knee height were already strong enough to pull someone down. Luckily, other hikers left us some good sticks on both sides of the streams.
When we arrived on our first camping site, we didn't meet anybody except that park policeman. Although this trail through Jasper National Park is well known, only few people do it effectively. Three to five days trails were much more popular than this longer ones. Only on the last day of the trip (Mount Robson Provincial park) we have seen a lot of people. This was mainly because of the easy access: A highway passes the entry of this provincial park.

One of the most beautiful points on the trail was definitely the McLarens pass. Of course, we had to eat enough energy (see the spaghetti!). This camping spot had an enormous view from where we even saw some white tail deers during the evening.
On the way to the pass, we had to cross a lot of small rivers and this by walking across trees. One of these even broke down on the moment we passed. Luckily, none of us felt into the water and we could laugh about it. Other broken trees told us we were not the first who got surprised... After all, the way to Mc Larenspass was not as heavy as we expected. By this, we could enjoy very much the environment, certainly after we passed the tree boundary.

Although it was already late august, still some parts of our way were still covered with snow. Along the path, marks were visible from deers and bears. On the pass itself, we had a beautiful view on the main part of the trail. It was even possible to see a first glimp of Mt Robson, our final destination.
Descending the pass was as easy as the climb. The mosquitos at the end of our day were our most important obstacle.
