The road going into Teslin with the largest bridge on the Alcan. Teslin is such a pretty little town on Teslin Lake just off the Teslin river.

This is the view from our rv looking down on the Teslin Lake. It was so nice to be able to stay for an extra night just to relax.

These are the Dawson Peaks and the lake is Teslin Lake - very big and unfortunately we didn't get to kayak much on it because it got very windy and choppy.

Dawson Peaks Resort just outside of Teslin, BC. Dave & Carolyn are the owners and just wonderful people. Dinner was excellant and the rhubard pie was super!!

Bison on the side of the road. People were getting out of their cars to take pictures - I stayed in the car just in case.

Poplar trees mixed in with the pine trees.

Sign post forest in Watson Lake. This is a large area of signs that people post for the fun of it!

It was started back in the 60's or 70's by a gentleman and boy has it flourished!

Mel in the upper pool at Liard Hot Springs. The middle pool was HOT and the upper pool was just right, we stayed in for about 15 minutes and it felt great!

Mountains outside of Jasper - can you tell we like mountains?!

Pyramid Lake just outside of the town of Jasper.

Flora in front of picnic table that is just so cool - maybe someone could make some??!!

On to Jasper National Park and Stone sheep just off the road. The one was running up and down the hill, not sure where to go! Elk in the woods on the road back from Pyramid Lake.

It is taking so long to download pictures that I will need a full day to get caught up. We are in Fairbanks now and I have so many more pictures in between Jasper and Fairbanks!

This is the lower end another lake and I forget the name but it was real pretty and had a nice size glacier.

Peyto Lake and Glacier

Peyto Lake - very blue and good hike up to viewing area. Only problem was a bus full of people arrived at the same time and they were quite rude so we didn't stay long!

Num Ti Jah Lodge in background.

Just north of Lake Louise is a beautiful lake called Bow Lake. We hiked around to the falls, looked up at the glacier and the dogs made many friends of other hikers. The lodge is called

Num Ti Jah Lodge, which means pine marten. Fun place to visit, nice hike and gift shop. Food is also great there!

This is the Bow River and it ran just behind our campsite in Lake Louise Campground. There was a great walking trail but it was closed down on the other side due to a grizzly with cubs. We still had great walks and didn't see the grizzly.

Flora posing by the Bow River with my mountain - Temple Mountain- in the background. She had a great time in the shallow part of the river, the main part was much too swift for any of the dogs.

This is my mountain - Temple Mountain and I just love it!

At Moraine Lake, we hiked to another lake - Consolation Lake and these are pictures from that hike. It was hard in the beginning as we were walking across boulders and it had just rained. Someone before us had fallen and gotten hurt, so we were very careful. It was well worth the hike.

This is us at Consolation Lake. Behind us are similar boulders that we had to cross at the start of the hike. A very nice young couple from Calgary took these pictures for us and then they were going to hike up the side of the mountain on the left of the picture - NOT us!

Moraine Lake is called the valley of 10 peaks and above are a few of them - just beautiful!

This is Moraine Lake. It could not decide if it wanted to be nasty or nice this day - mostly nice although we did get wet at the end of our hike! We kayaked on Moraine Lake two years ago - it is the prettiest color and great scenery.

Above pictures are on the way to Lake Louise, the river was so blue/green and pretty and of course the mountains are always cool.

In the town of Radium Hot Springs - cute carving advertisement - sorry it is not clearer, but it was unique!

This is the cut in stone roadway north of Radium Hot Springs - just had to show that. Our trip to Lake Louise was uneventful and beautiful. Our border crossing was fairly painless. Next stop is Lake Louise.

Lake McDonald and last of Glacier National Park

Lake McDonald on a beautiful clear day and we really enjoyed our kayak. There are 400+acres that are private in Glacier National Park, most around the lake and really neat cottages built in the 50-60's time period. We met some people that we staying in one - friends of the owner, and they were really enjoying themselves.

Great day on the water!!

One of the falls at Avalanche Lake and the following is a cute little chippy that tried hard to get treats from everyone there. He/she ran across my shoe to jump on the log and pose for me!

This is Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. You hike up through the Trail of Cedars and then it is a 2mile hike up to the lake and so worth it. There are five water falls coming off the mountains into the lake and spectacular scenery! We loved it.

This picture is part of Avalanche Gorge - hiking up to Avalance Lake.

Larger picture of Avalanche Lake. Can you tell I haven't gotten the sequence of loading pictures?!

Here we are today at Kintla Lake at the northern end of Glacier National Park. We kayaked while the dogs rested in the car and then played in the water. Kenai didn't want to pose for a picture - too busy with other things! Flora and Mickie did though. Mickie just loves to look into the water for fish or rocks to play with. The water is so clear and clean that you can see down about 20 feet.

On our way up to Kintla we passed through the area that was burned out several years ago. It is sad to see, but there is new growth coming and will look good again in several years.

As we started up from West Glacier - a 25 mile trip one way which takes about 2-2 1/2 hours due to roads which are a one lane road with 2 way traffic and not what you would take your average car on, we looked out over this field into the mountains. On the way back a must stop is the Polebridge Mercantile in Polebridge Montana. Great little store with absolutely the BEST baked goods! It's fun to sit on the front porch of this old building and think of all that is has seen. Great area and if I would live in Montana it would be here.

Pat got to use Mel's kayak for the picture! The water was cool, but not as cold as I thought it would be and it is so clear.

I just love the scenery here at Lake McDonald and it was such a beautiful clear day. The temps are in the 80's during the day and in the 40-50's at night - great sleeping weather.

Well, we spent today enjoying Lake McDonald and it's beautiful scenery. Mel in his brand new kayak built just for him by a good friend. He loves his kayak!

Tomorrow we are planning a trip to Polebridge and then up to Bowman Lake for kayaking. If there was a place in Montana that I would move to it would be Polebridge area. Wait til you see the pictures!

4th of July evening at Bonz'. There were even great fireworks over the lake.

Some of the puppies posing at the gate. Too cute!

My friend Bonz posing with Mickie who she wanted to keep. I said as long as I got Issaquah it was ok - we still have our own dogs! We had a super time staying with her in Minnesota. They have a great house on a pretty lake and they have 18 dogs that are so pretty - even Coyote ugly! (Bonz husband Dave nicknamed one of the dogs Coyote ugly but we think she is really cute Dave!

We had a great meal on the 4th of July and other friends that live nearby, Pat & Mark Ellinger, came up and joined us. The picture of us follows:

Fun day on the 4th of July - Mel, Mickie, Pat, Bonz, Flora, Mark, Pat & Kenai.
