Into The Mountains We Went

Not into the mountains themselves, I suppose it's really in between the mountains. Because we didn't really go into any caverns or anything. Does that make any sense. Um is anyone there? Did I lose my one and only reader?

On the way to the mountains we saw a small heard of deer like creatures. Were they the elusive white tailed deer? Or is that just the way the light hit their...behinds?
On our way back, by the way, we saw another deer like creature, and I try to remember its name. Was it meere or doose? It was like a mixture of moose and deer, I think. A quick google search later, I find it was a mule. I can never be right. It was a fun argument in the van though. No it's a deer! No it's a moose! Actually it's a mule.

Well it was funny if you were there!

And since I am all over the place anyway, here is a picture of the poor mule we argued over.
Notice how the light shines right on the dear mules...behind. I am so juvenile.

Also in the picture are the beautiful waters, mountain green and white capped tops of a range I do not know the name of. You could have deduced that yourselves but I feel like tour guiding you through my pictures so please humour me.

Below is a picture of Capitol Mountain taken on the way back from the Miette Hot Springs, which was a disappointment to me. Hot springs should be a big natural swimming pool with rocks, lichen and all that good stuff. That's how it is in my head and I quite like the image. But subhanAllah, the water from the pool is actually cooled down so it's a comfortable temperature for us. Imagine, not heated up but cooled down, in the middle of the mountains!
Also imagine living in a mountain town like Jasper. Your main street will look beautiful even through awful photography like this.

Does it feel like I work in marketing for Canada's parks. I'm not, I promise.
