Loved the scenery along the way. We had a stateroom with a verandah and I was able to take snaps along the way.  It was a big ship to us, but later found it small compared to some others we saw.  We settled in quite quickly to this life on the sea and enjoyed it.

One special thing did happen.  There is an S bend and another ship was making its way through so we couldn’t. We had to wait. We were told by the Tour Guide on the ship that this was a very special occasion to witness and she’d never seen it before.  She’d only heard of it happening once or twice. So I was able to take pictures of the other ship as it passed by us.

The scenery was quite beautiful and I hope you like what you see here.

More beautiful scenery.  And we saw some mountain goats and big-horned sheep.  We also stopped at the Columbia icefield and took a ride on a huge bus with large wheels called the Ice Explorer.  We walked on the Glacier. We visited Falls in the afternoon and then arrived at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge which had cabins and a large lake.  Some of the water bird photos are from that lake.  We also saw the amazing blue dragonfly while walking around that lake.
