It was starting to get late, and the sun was beginning to set when we left the Icefield Center on the final stretch to Jasper (130Km). We had to restrain ourselves from stopping anymore, as the road is unlit and we didn't fancy driving in the dark! Then, we spotted a moose! I drove right past it and had to do a quick stop and reverse along the hard shoulder in order for Nozomi to snap some photos. Fortunately, we pretty much had the road to ourselves so this wasn't a problem. We arrived in Jasper at around 8PM as the sun was setting. We are staying at the Sawridge Hotel, on the edge of town. It's a Ski Lodge type place, with a very large and well furnished room. The restaurant service leaves a bit to be desired though. They didn't seem to have enough waiting staff so there was a bit of waiting about. To be fair, once we got assigned a waitress, she did look after us very well. I am not sure why the chef decide to dollop a gerkin on the top of my Caribou Stroganof, but anyway the Kokanee beer was nice, being brewed with glacial melt water.
