Wed we arise to the nicest day we have seen in a while. Being well east of the mountains to start the skies are blue but will change significantly the closer we get to the parkway. The first rain falls while still 100 kilometers from the entrance gate on highway 11 back into the park. The day is a mix of rain and sun going back and forth. It does not dampen the enthusiasm for the scenic beauty that unfolds before us. The first bear seen is a black bear just before the park gate.
The second is playing in the river near a picnic area.
After the bears the biggest attraction on the parkway was a large variety of water falls both big and small. One site known as the weeping wall had this.
I never did find the name of this next falls. 
The group of sheep in the left corner of the photo crossed the bridge in front of that truck and before we reached the end of the bridge. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We are stopped for the night in Hinton. It will probably be early next week before this gets another update. Thank you for the comments. I hope you continue to enjoy.
Then last and certainly not least the Athabasca Falls looks like this.
From there it was on to Jasper and then highway 16 east to Hinton. We will work our way north tomorrow on hwy 40. The goal is a photo of Deb at the 0 mile marker for the Alcan Highway. Just east of Jasper we found this.
