Wait a minute...was that ICE in the water by the fishing boats? Dairy Queen! Gotta love Dairy Queen! what magnificent mountain views! Never heard of Mt Robson, looks impressive. Look at the opening sequence of the movie "The Grey Fox" it reminds me of that train trip. Stunning scenery to say the least!

I was also born in Jasper. To see Mt. Robson at its finest is rare as there is alot of cloud cover there, its rare to see it in full sunlight and no clouds, I ve only seen that a hand full of times my self.

[roamerroam18]

Mt Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, I should know, been there 1000's of times and I have a Cabin Acroos from the mill on that line just before the Tete Jaune Junction, do you remember it at all???
