Another 1/2 hour drive or so later, we landed at Maligne Lake. This is a comparatively busy place, with fishing boats, touring boats and so on. We didn't stop long, as after Medicine Lake it had a bustley feeling about it. Nevertheless it is a lovely spot and the drive alone makes the trip worthwhile. We then drove slowly back towards Jasper Town, stopping here and there. Nozomi took a turn at driving, and discovered she enjoyed driving the SUV. Something about that makes my wallet twitch alarmingly. (No way!) Along the way, we got caught in an elk Jam. Naturally we stopped to take some photos. This time it was a small herd of female elk and a lone stag who was steadfastly guarding and shepherding his harem. Got some great pictures. However, the stag was obviously becoming agitated; aggressively herding the females away from the rapidly growing crowd of people and the coaches that were slowing down for photo opportunities.

Maligne Lake and Stag Do
