Jasper Tram Ride

Today we are in Jasper.  We had a great day.  We rode the

Tram up Whistler’s Mountain.  The tram ride was such fun.  Seven

Minutes up the side of a mountain. This shows the town of Jasper from the

Upper terminal of the tram.  We went up early in the morning with the idea

of having breakfast at the upper terminal.  We had just sat down with a cup

coffee and tea when all of a sudden we could not breathe and started coughing

severely.  My initial thought was that there was some sort of electrical fire, but

it turned out that someone had a canister of bear spray on their backpack and it

discharged.  It took about a half an hour before the ‘fragrance’  was dissipated.

This bear spray stuff is awful.   But after that we did have a really nice breakfast

and climbed the mountain from the upper terminal.

These pictures are of the tram and a view down the mountain toward the lower

terminal.

 And this is the mountain we climbed....Not bad for some 'old folks'
