Jasper Getaway

It would be an understatement to say that last week was tough. Last week was probably the hardest week I've experienced in my life thus far. Lots of ups and downs. Needless to say that when my husband offered a trip to Jasper for the weekend I jumped at the opportunity. It's so amazing to have such gorgeous scenery on our doorsteps here in Grande Prairie. Just a short 4 hour drive and we were far away from all of the stresses and pains of the previous week. The relaxation was well-needed. Cabins without internet or tv's. Amazing hikes discovering the world's natural beauty. Breathtaking. 

I think this weekend getaway was exactly what we needed to rejuvenate. It was very restful, peaceful and quiet. We stayed in Jasper, but also walked around Pierre Grey's Lake on the way home, and did the short jaunt up Sulphur Gates. The hike we did in Jasper was the Old Fort Point hike - at the suggestion of a friend. It was beautiful!! The view at the top is unreal. I didn't even attempt photos of it, because I don't think I could ever capture the vastness. Highly recommended.
