Planned route - Leg 2, Journey through Jasper

Leg 2 from Valemount, BC to Wetaskiwin, Alberta is a little shorter; only 570 km and 6 hours ride time.

This leg of the trip should be the most scenic on my trip out, going through Jasper, as well as the most boring, going from Hinton to Wetaskiwin. But at the journey’s end there will be friendly faces and a home cooked meal.

I’ll have to keep my speed in mind when going through Jasper. To the east of the town is a section of highway with very low speed limits due to sheep that wander along side of and across the highway. On my last car trip through here I became painfully aware of this with a souvenir speeding ticket while doing only 80 km/hr.

Hhhmmmmm... maybe there will be some sheep by the road again and a chance to get some good photos.
