The day from Rocky Mountain back to Vancouver. Same as the case for going to Rocky, one day is not enough and that's why we had t stay in Meritt for one night. The first stop of the day is the Spiral tunnel. Actually we had been there before, last time we could not see any train on the railway and this time we were very lucky that a train were really going throught this part of the railway. The train was a very long one, it was over a hundred units. On that place we can see 3 parts of one train on the railway at the same time. It was really interesting. After that we had been to Roger Pass and 3 Valley. Eventually we manage to find a room of a Motel in Meritt. Lucky.

Rocky Mountain (14) - Banff Day 2 - Yoho National Park
Lake Louise again, this time we went there in the morning around 8am, no many people and more easy to find a better angle to take photo..great. Takakkaw Falls, it is a must go place in Rocky Mountain. Actually, you can reach the bottom of the Falls and feel the moist. It will definitely make you wet. The natural bridge is the war between water and rock. This time the rock is still hanging there but it will finally destroy by the water, but it will take a million years. The Emerald lake is very green. And you can see me pretending to chop the wood at car park of hostel.

Rocky Mtn and Grand Canyon July 07 (11) Jasper Day 2
Went to Medicine Lake, Maligne Lake and Canyon in the morning, medicine means magic in Red Indian. Since the Indian found that the lake may disappear sometimes if it is a dry year. And they found there is no way out of the Lake to any river, thus they thought that it is the God magic. Actually there are some creeks at the bottom of the lack and the water will run to the Maligne Canyon from there. After walking the canyon (2 hours walk), it was already afternoon. We went to 2 different Falls, one is Sunwapta and the other is Athabaska. Both are very beautiful. We also saw some goats on the way.

Rocky Mtn and Grand Canyon July 07 (6)
Lytton is a very small town having around 300 residents. Once there were around several thousand people living here because of Gold Rush. Furthermore, it is a merging place of Fraser and Thompson River. Fraser is full of dirt, while Thompson is very clear that you can see it from the picture.
