This was the second trip to this park with the first outing being before camper. Some friends of ours did the campout with us bringing their Pop Up too. The weather was supposed to be really bad but we had about 1/2 inch of rain in the middle of the night Sunday. It didn't rain on our parade. The temperatures were unseasonably cool as the year has been so far. We got in over 13 miles of bike riding mostly on the trails and some road riding. The park is a high budget one with plenty of things to do.
Another good outing goes into the books!
Day Trip to Jasper
We always try to do a day trip around the area just to see what there is to see. This time we went to the town of Jasper which is about 12 miles from the park. What a nice town of people! We drove around a large residential section and noticed that not one person failed to wave at us or say hello. This is the nicest little town we have been to yet. There are a whole lot of wonderful homes there too. Here are some photos of the town.
Day Trip to Heritage Village
Another day trip taken was to a museum named Heritage Village located a couple of miles west of Woodville, about 20 miles west of the State Park. This is a nice reconstructed village of a western town. The price is $4 per adult and well worth it. The tour is self guided and takes about 2.5 hours if you try to absorb the place. We hear the restaurant is really good. We will have to try it out next time. Their Web Site.
