Valley of the Five Lakes
Today we planned to do some rafting in the Athabasca River. Before the raft, we took a hike on the Valley of the Five Lakes. It’s an easy hike and it’s very close to Jasper. You can hike for as much and as little as you want. So it's a good filler activity.
Jasper Rafting
We signed up rafting through the Jasper Rafting Adventure website. The ride was family friendly and was suitable for two families. We didn’t see any wildlife but the ride was entertaining. The guide on the boat was informative and well trained. We had people from 8 years old to 60 years old and they all enjoyed it.
After rafting, we did a short walk in Jasper downtown and had some snacks at the Bear Paws Bakery. It was a nice and cozy cafe. The kids were glad to have a place to take a break and relax.
Toronto Raptor
At night, we had dinner at home and watched the Toronto Raptors's game with our friends from Toronto. Everyone was excited because it’s the first time the Toronto Raptors entered the NBA final. Unfortunately, the Raptors didn’t win this time and we’d have to watch the another game on Thursday night.
