River Valley
It started to get cold at the end of my visit, so on a day that reached -17, I took the car for a drive and visited my home from when I was a teenager, which includes some ravines and the River Valley.

New Year's Eve
I didn't do much for New Year's Eve, just stayed home. Somehow I was able to stay awake until midnight, probably the only time I did so during the whole trip.

 Jasper in the Morning
There was more snow on the ground when we woke up, so we revisited the fire site in the town. Also as we were leaving, we went by Maligne Canyon, where the fire had wiped out pretty well all the trees.

Candy Cane Lane
We went to Candy Cane Lane to see what it was like. At no point did we get out of the car, other than when my mom threw some things in a donation bin. Most of the photos I took on my phone ended up too blurred due to car movement.

I've seen tunnel boring machines up close, but had never imagined the opposite, a haneul boring machine digging a tunnel through the sky.
