The second day we traveled from Sandpoint to our Airbnb in Hinton, Alberta which is just east of Jasper. After an uneventful border crossing, we stopped for a picnic lunch at Olive Lake, a beautiful little lake fed by underground springs.
We stopped for gas in Lake Louise Village and then drove on the Icefields Parkway to Jasper/Hinton. We didn't stop on the way other than to take a few scenery and wildlife pictures, knowing we would stop at all these places as we gradually made our way back down to Banff in a few days.

| Lydia took several pictures from the car window, not realizing that every time she lowered her window it made it a bit windy in the back seat for Seth. It gave him some nice hairstyles. |
 |
| The Athabasca Glacier from our car; we visited in person later in the week. |
 |
| Our only bear sighting was from the safety of our car--a mama and her two cubs. |
 |
| Elk |
 |
| Mountain goats. |
After we unpacked at the Airbnb, we put homemade pig-in-the-blankets in the oven, and then Russ and I went to town to get more groceries for the week. We ended our night by playing the game Chameleon with the kids laughing at their mother's game blunders.
