Vanvouver to Toronto by train pt2.1

This post is kinda part 2 of day 1 as it's more shots of the Rockies area. There was an hour long stop at Jasper where they changed over the train engine. I got off and had a wander round the shops and bought some souvenirs n stuff.The scenery really started to change after Jasper as we headed closer to the plains. There was a giant frozen lake which I think was called Moose Lake. If I wasn't so lazy I'd crack out the map and have a look but I'm sure if you really want to know you can look for yourself haha. So all aboard for some more photos: (you can click them to enlarge)


If I remember correctly this is Moose Lake which is a ginormous frozen lake

Hopefully not where someone fell in the ice at Moose Lake

we stopped here for some time so I managed to get a good shot but it had me wondering about it....

Jasper station and our train, you can see the skycar there with the bump in the roof


Our trusty steed

This First Nations totem pole was outside the Jasper station

Rolling out of Jasper, I just loved the monotone colours of this mountain, very interesting. Have a click to view it large
