A very scenic drive along the Thompson River, Fraser River, Cariboo Mountains. Stopped at Blue River for coffee & breakfast. Did our first fuel up, which was very interesting. Snow tipped mountains all around us. Cariboo Mt, Mona Mt, Mt Terry Fox & Mt Robson. We did wonder how we would know which mountain was Mt Robson, as all the mountains and ranges were huge, however we knew when we saw it!
Fires are burning all around us, roads closed- just like living in Australia.
Mousse Lake is absolutely stunning and sooooooooo blue.
So many Christmas trees,in fact to many, they often block our view and none of them have fairy lights on them.
Logging trucks travelling every way. These truck are quite small compared to Oz trucks.
Jasper was very disappointing, it would certainly look better under a coating of snow. We drove on to our hotel at Hinton. The weird thing for us is, sunset isn't until 1138pm- so light.
Mt Robson- The highest point in the Canadian Rockies (3954m)

A Peak (one of many).
More peaks
A blue/green lake- very pretty.
Next we had a full day to rest, relax and do some retail shopping, as good foot wear and clothing are so much cheaper here.
