Yellow confetti.

Map - Jasper to Clearwater

Dutch Lake Resort, Clearwater BC (2 stars)

We woke up to a colourful sunrise in Whistlers campground. After breakfast, we started a campfire and burned some more papers with confidential information on them. It seemed strange to have a campfire in the morning, but we weren't the only ones - some people enjoying the last day of the 2023 Jasper camping season.

Our drive to Clearwarter was filled with fall colours, especially the bright yellow poplar trees. We arrived just in time to set up and then the rain started. A cozy supper followed.

The bright yellow poplar and the rich green spruce trees line our mountain highway. As the leaves of the Poplar fall like confetti on the ground, the trees become mere skeletons. Every turn in the road is a photograph waiting to be taken. It's a good thing we don't use real film in the cameras any more.
