Road to Honeymoon Lake Campsite
After spending the night at the hostel in Jasper, it was time to head out down the Icefield. I said my goodbyes to the Adventure Cycle group and headed towards Jasper to stock up on food. As I only planned on riding 50 km to Honeymoon Lake, I was in too much of a rush to leave.
I decided to ride only 50 km as it is all up hill and I didn't want to push it, though I could. I just remembered how challenging it was the last time I rode it. Of course, if I was up to it, I could continue on to the next campsite.

The weather was nice that day, but not too hot. As the scenery was spectacular, I stopped a lot along the way to take photos and enjoy the views.
I had a lunch break at this view point and chatted with people from the US. I offered to take a photo of the both of them with the view in the background.

I reached the Honeymoon Lake campground by 2:30 pm, but I didn't feel like riding further. So I found the same spot that I stayed at when I rode down with my riding buddy, Jim. I even pitched my tent in the same exact spot!
I then rode down further a bit to explore one of small lakes nearby.

Back at the campsite, I visited with a couple from Edmonton who were headed to Calgary. This was one of their favourite places to camp in the park. I then napped, had dinner, watched some people canoeing, and explored around the lake a bit. It was a bit laid back. This is the life I tell you! I like the feeling of not having to rush to do stuff.

I waited until the sun went down to catch another good sunset shot here.

Before you know it, it was time for bed. I was all eager for another day of adventure riding to the Columbia Icefield.
