</figure> <p>Le 31 juillet est une journée dédiée à faire une bonne portion de route vers le parc national Jasper car celle-ci est très scénique, réputée pour les nombreux glaciers qui la jalonnent. La plupart du temps, nous avons pu profiter de la vue simplement en nous garant sur le côté, mais parfois nous dûmes activer les patounes pour tel lac ou telle cascade.</p>
<p lang="en">On the 31th of July we mainly drove on the way to Jasper national park, a road packed with lots of viewpoints, especially glaciers. Most of the time we could just park the car to enjoy the scenery, but occasionally we walked a little bit further to some remote lake or cascade.</p>

<p>Nous sommes restés un petit moment au canyon Mistaya pour quelques photos périlleuses, puis sur le conseil fourbe d'un panneau nous sommes 3 à avoir marché vers un belvédère qui n'arrivait jamais (et au vu des inscriptions sur les panneaux intermédiaires, nous n'étions pas les seuls à avoir été dupés par l'absence d'indication de distance). Nous avons rebroussé chemin au bout d'un quart d'heure histoire de retrouver les autres qui devaient se demander où on était.</p>
<p lang="en">We stayed a little longer than usual at the Mistaya canyon to snap some perillous pictures, then on the advice of a rogue sign, 3 of us walked to a belvedere that wasn't nearby at all (and considering the annoyed manual inscriptions on the intermediate signs, we weren't the first to have been fooled by the lack of mileage!). After a quarter of an hour we walked back to the rest of our party who must have wondered where we were.</p>

<p>Après avoir repris la route nous nous sommes arrêtés au hasard dans une zone qui en réalité était un terrain de camping, sauf qu'immédiatement après que l'on se soit garés sur le bas-côté, on a remarqué qu'autour de nous il y avait des gens dans les voitures environnantes qui nous faisaient de grands signes… on s'était garés à deux pas d'un ours en train de faire un sort aux buissons d'à côté. Oui, après avoir pesté contre les sans gênes qui avaient fait ça juste la veille. Et dire que sans les autres personnes on ne l'aurait probablement même pas remarqué ! (On allait repartir).</p>
<p lang="en">A little while after we stopped again on the road in a area that happened to be a camping site. Only as soon as we had parked the car we noticed that in other cars nearby people were weaving at us… yup, there was a bear only a few meters away, giving a rough time to the bushes. Remember how only the previous day we had been so irritated by the careless tourist that did the same thing — well, consciously, alas. If it wasn't for the other folks I don't think we would have noticed! (We were about to leave).</p>

<p>Je tenais absolument à faire un arrêt à une maison de thé car c'est pas tout les jours qu'on tombe sur ce genre d'établissement mais l'endroit était noir de monde et semblait être des plus banals contrairement à ce que le nom laissait présager, donc, tant pis. Sur le chemin du retour, on s'est séparés en deux groupes, car mon père et mon oncle voulaient bifurquer sur une seconde balade, celle qui mène au lac Agnès. Nouzot', nous avions prévu de rentrer au chalet en navette, sauf que dans les faits on n'en a pas trouvé pas qui allait au bon endroit, alors malheureusement, bien malgré nous et nos pieds douloureux nous aussi nous nous sommes lancés dans une seconde balade… Rentrés à pied à travers la forêt, sur un chemin qui bien que très facile était beaucoup moins fréquenté que je ne l'aurais imaginé. Ouais, glacier -> maison entièrement à pied !</p>
<p lang="en">I had had a mind to try the tea house but the place was absolutely crowded and worse still, it wasn't at all the neat and cosy place the name induced me to think it was as far as the menu was concerned. On the way back, we split in two groups as my father and uncle wanted to go see lake Agnès. Me and my siblings intended to get back to town with a shuttle but it turned out that none went where we were headed, so in spite of our sore feets, we walked back to our lodgings through a trail in the forest, a really easy hike, which made me expect to stumble upon many families but we barely met a soul. Glacier -> home on foot only!</p>

<p>Or donc, plus tard bien que claqués et à deux doigts de siester nous avions réussi à nous motiver pour profiter de la piscine. Au moment où j'allais ouvrir la porte pour sortir, mon père et mon oncle ont frappé pour nous annoncer l'impensable : <em>Who pooped in da pool? Who? Who? Who? Who?</em> En se rendant sur les lieux pour en savoir plus, sans déconner, <strong>scotch jaune façon scène de crime</strong>. Moi je lui aurais fait boire son œuvre, à ce merdeux.</p>
<p lang="en">A little bit later in the day, despite being utterly tired and very close to napping we managed to find enough motivation to go swimming. But at the moment when I was about to open the door, my father and uncle knocked to inform us of a grave news: Who pooped in the pool? Who? Who? Who? Who? No kidding, we went to make sure and there was <strong>yellow tape and all, crime scene-style</strong>. Lucky they didn't give any names because I would have that little piece of shit drink his own masterpiece.</p>

Le 30 juillet, notre location de chalet dans la ville de Banff prenait fin, nous devions aller prendre nos quartiers à Lake Louise. Mais avant de partir, nous avions décidé de faire une petite balade pas trop loin, <a href="https://www.banff.ca/index.aspx?NID=650" hreflang="en" title="Fenland Trail on Banff Town website">Fenland</a> Trail. Nous caressions l'espoir d'observer de la vie sauvage au petit matin, mais les bêtes ne devaient pas être. Pourtant, ce petit chemin à travers bois offrait moultes orées tentatrices, des rivières protectrices et une lumière à couper au couteau. C'était superbe, bien sûr.</p>
<p lang="en">I will soon have a announcement to make, but first I want to catch on my canadian adventure reports. On the 30th of july, our hut location ended in Banff town and we moved on to Lake Louise. But first, in the early hours of morn, we went walking on Fenland Trail, located nearby Banff town itself. We hoped for some wildlife sightings since we were to walk through and near forest edges, along a river, overall quite the typical set of animal encounter in my experience, except not, they didn't care for it all. The light was excellent nonetheless and the view extremely enjoyable.</p>

<p>Après avoir quitté notre chalet pour 11h et pris un rapide déjeuner, nous avions prévu une seconde balade où l'on entendrait un peu moins le bruit des voitures (c'est vrai que Fenland n'était pas très loin d'une route). Vista Lake. La balade n'était pas excessivement longue mais nous ne sommes pas parvenu à nous poser confortablement au bord du lac, les berges consistant plutôt en fouillis de troncs d'arbre qu'en banques herbeuses. L'eau était de plus totalement glacée, même si la nature était assez similaire nous étions plus hauts que Yellowstone et <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/yellowstone-s-den-or-life-in-the-woods-part-ii-grand-teton">certaines choses</a> n'étaient donc plus possibles ! C'est à ce moment-là qu'un orage maousse a pointé son nez et nous avons repris le chemin du retour à toute berzingue, d'un trait jusqu'à la voiture que nous avons atteint à seulement 13h50 ce qui n'était pas exactement notre idée d'une après-midi bien remplie. L'orage éclata mais un peu plus loin, ne nous laissant qu'une chaleur étouffante. Nous l'avons subie quelques minutes le temps de nous remettre de notre course, puis nous avons repris la voiture jusqu'à ce qu'un <em>« bear jam »</em> attire notre attention.</p>
<p lang="en">Having left our house by 11am and a quick lunch, we set on a second hike remote enough not to hear car traffic from a distance as was the case with Fenland. So, Vista lake. Not a long one but we couldn't find a great spot to sit by the lake as the banks consist more of fallen trees with pointy bits rather than grass. And the water is sadly too cold to bathe in, marking the end of the similarities of the landscape with Yellowstone. We didn't got to stay long as a massive storm suddenly appeared lurking in the distant sky and we rushed back to the car, only to find the storm barely brushing us though considerably heating up the atmosphere. Just a few minuts to recover from our almost-running pace and off we were again, too soon in the afternoon as it was. Luckily, we found ourselves running into a ‘bear jam’ and taking quite some time to respectfully observe a grizzli from afar, having parked our car.</p>

<p>Changer l'habillage pour permettre des grandes images a été la meilleure décision que j'ai prise au cours des dernières années pour ce blog — qui ne souffre guère d'une maintenance soutenue, certes. Et comme je m'amuse bien sur la mise en page, c'est même devenu un véritable album photo pour moi. Qu'est-ce qu'un bon compte-rendu de voyage, de toutes façons ? Quand j'ai une expédition en préparation, c'est celui qui est détaillé, avec des petites cartes, des bonnes adresses. Pourtant quand cela me concerne, je ne fais les choses qu'à moitié, ce qui déjà m'occupe bien (tous ces champs « alt » à remplir sur chaque image…). En outre j'avais un jour lu un papier assez intéressant sur les habitudes modernes liées à la géolocalisation et autres précisions qui peuvent en réalité porter préjudice à certains lieux. Selon l'influence que l'on a sur ses lecteurs, exposer un sanctuaire ne serait pas toujours une riche idée.</p>
<p lang="en">Changing the layout to make room for larger pics was one of my best blog-related moves lately — not like I do much maintenance, but still. And since I'm having fun with the content layout too, this kind of post has quickly become the equivalent of a photo album for me. What does a travel post should be, anyway? When I seek them to help me prepare my own trips, I like them well-documented with maps and locations. But I hardly do it myself, it's too much hassle and if I can spare time it usually goes in filling all the ‘alt’ fields for the images. I once read an excellent paper about our new habits in travelling and how they can actually harm the places you're going to in term of exposure. In short: don't reveal too much, especially if you've got a broad audience. Some places are better off as hidden gems and chance encounters.</p>
<p>Oh, une dernière astuce concernant les voyages, apprenez la langue. Sérieusement, quelques chapitres avant d'aller se coucher, je vous garantis que vous aurez quitté le pays dans l'heure qui suit. Ca marche, je suis allée en Suède l'autre nuit. / <span lang="en">Oh, one last tip about travelling, learn the langage. Seriously, just read a few chapters before going to bed, I'll guarantee you'll be making tourist stuff by the next hour. I should know, I was in Sweden the other night!</span></p>

<p>Le 28 juillet au matin nous sommes allés au mont Sulphur mais je n'ai pas pris de photo marquante : la balade consistait en un chemin en lacet à travers la forêt et je dois avouer qu'au bout d'un moment chaque virage commençait à ressembler au précédent. J'ai beau adorer la forêt, je préfère varier les paysages en traversant par exemple des prairies. Il y a un téléphérique qui y monte directement et qui est gratuit jusqu'à 11h du matin, si j'ai des lecteurs qui songent à visiter le parc je vous suggère de réserver vos jambes pour d'autres randos. Au sommet la balade continue sur des « boardwalks » et apparemment on peut même jeter un œil par la fenêtre d'un ancien observatoire météorologique encore meublé à l'ancienne. Pour ma part et celle de mes <em>siblings</em>, j'ai préféré ne pas poursuivre cette partie qui d'ailleurs était noire de monde afin de descendre tant que le téléphérique était encore gratuit (la très longue queue nous ayant mis la pression). Argument supplémentaire, nous voulions nous rendre aux sources chaudes (Upper Hot Springs) en bas de la montagne, mais une fois sur place leur aménagement façon piscine municipale ne nous a pas convaincus. Autant dire que celles-ci n'étaient pas dans le haut du peloton des sources chaudes auxquelles nous avons eu affaire lors de nos voyages, aussi un chocolat chaud et des pockys au café à l'étage de l'établissement nous ont amplement contentés en attendant le retour de mon père et de mon oncle.</p>
<p>L'après-midi nous avions le temps de faire une autre balade, d'un niveau très facile d'ailleurs car j'essayais de ménager mes pieds meurtris la veille. Nous avons donc fait le tour du lac Johnston où <strong>mon oncle s'est même fendu de quelques brasses</strong>, le fou !</p>

<p lang="en">On the morning of the 28th of july we went hiking at Mont Sulphur but I don't have any pictures of it since it wasn't a very exciting walk. Basically the road consists of hairpin bends until the top through a forest that doesn't change much as it goes, and as much as I like woods, I'd rather cross alpine meadows or something like that from time to time. Plus, there's a gondola that goes to the top that's free until 11:00 am so if any of you readers are planning to visit I suggest saving your legs for more worthy hikes. At the top the road changes to boardwalks, this time crowded with visitors, to climb the actual Mount Sulphur and you can even go see a former meteorological observatory still furnished as in the old times. But I confess my siblings and I skipped that part to ensure our free trip in the gondola when it was still possible, and why not try the hot springs at the foot of the mountain. However these weren't particularly spectacular due to being arranged like a common swimming pool, so we were better off at a cafe with hot chocolate and matcha pockys waiting for my dad and uncle's return.</p>
<p lang="en">Then in the afternoon there was still time for another hike, a really easy one due to my feet condition. We went for Lake Johnston where my uncle even did a bit of swimming!</p>
<h2>Bourgeau Lake</h2>
<p>29 juillet. Nous avons passé une porte grillagée et entamé notre rando dans l'enclos des raptors. Comme il était tôt nous avons eu droit à de belles lumières sur le sol moussu de la forêt. Notre première demi-heure fut ainsi bien remplie de photos. J'espérais des prairies sur le trajet mais non, cela aura été 100% de la forêt jusqu'à la fin.</p>

<p lang="en">29 July. We go through a door in a chain-link fence and start our hike in the raptor paddock. It's still early so we're in for a lightning feast on the mossy forest grounds. We spend the first half-hour taking a lot of pictures. I had hoped for some meadows before the end of the trail, but no, 100% forest it is.</p>

Il s'agissait là d'un retour au Canada, un pays que j'ai visité la première fois en 2002 avec la chorale de mon école, où j'ai perdu un Calvin & Hobbes sur un bateau, survécu avec un mauvais dosage d'argent de poche quotidien de 5 dollars <em>avant</em> déduction du repas de midi, et pris plein de photos avec mon argentique Vivitar que j'avais précocément demandé à un Noël. Puis <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/je-me-souviens">j'y étais retournée en 2010</a> pour aller visiter de la famille. Ce qui fut encore le cas cette année (en fait, cette raison se cache derrière un voyage sur 3).</p>

Pour une raison mystérieuse, nous devions récupérer et réenregistrer nos bagages à Toronto, ce qui nous a bien pris par surprise d'autant que notre correspondance n'était pas si longue, et pour couronner le tout c'était très mal indiqué. Bien stressant. Ensuite, la passerelle par laquelle nous devions monter dans l'avion était bloquée (avec juste des petits bonhommes débarqués d'un autre avion coincés de l'autre côté). Longtemps après l'heure prévue de notre décollage, il fut décidé de partir d'une autre porte d'embarquement. Pour se rattraper, le personnel décida de commander un repas pour le vol, vu que l'heure du dîner était arrivée à force. Ils l'attendirent une heure, mais à la livraison… <strong>erreur.</strong> C'est comme ça que dans l'avion, les hôtesses passèrent en nous disant qu'il n'y avait pas de nourriture pour tout le monde et que c'était en notre âme et conscience de choisir de demander un repas ou non. « Bien sûr, donnez-moi le plateau de ce gosse, et en jouet vous me mettrez l'hôtesse playmobil. ». <strong>Nous avons atteint le parc à 3h du matin.</strong></p>
<p lang="en">Our flight didn't ended quite as planned. We had a huge delay in Toronto, too bad for my uncle who had expected to wait ‘only’ 3 hours, and who knew there remained the additional 2 hours drive to Banff, Alberta. For some reasons, we had to fetch our luggages and register them again (same company operating both flights). But we needn't have worried not finding our way in this airport, since the plane was doomed, first the passerelle was stuck (with people on the other side), then because it was well past dinner time staff thought we should have a meal and spent one more hour waiting for it to be delivered, only to find the order was messed up so they later had to tell us there wasn't food enough for all and that we should consider having it or not. Sure, I'll have that kid tray, I'll have a playmobil with that please.</p>

<p>Au début, je ne m'épanchais pas trop dans mon carnet de voyage :</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Lever pas trop tôt histoire de récupérer de la veille. J'avais repéré une balade en boucle autour d'une rivière (Spray River) mais on ne la suivra pas longtemps, le temps d'un pique-nique puis on bifurque contre mon gré sur une autre ballade, Hoodootrail qui débouche au loin sur des cheminées de fées. Je me flingue les pieds avec des ongles trop longs que je coupe trop tard, peut-être que j'aurais dû prendre des chaussures en 40. En fait Nico prend limite plus de photos que moi, papa doit être fou</p>

</figure> <p>Reprise des billets Yellowstone, interrompus par un festival bayday qui aura duré un peu plus longtemps que prévu… non mais qui tombe en panne le vendredi soir d'avant Pâques ? Merci le petit Jésus… Enfin, j'y aurais eu mes œufs en sucre, attrapé un lézard, vu une anguille, exterminé la population marine comestible, et été dans une pizzeria. Et, quand j'ai enfin pu rentrer (mercredi…), je suis arrivée <em>pile à l'heure</em> pour Poirot. Je crois que j'ai vu s'exaucer tous mes désirs, formulés à haute voix ou pensés par hasard. Et ça me fait une transition toute trouvée pour cette série de photo, puisque le problème de bagnole a commencé par de forts relents d'acide, et une batterie se prenant pour une terre volcanique avec ses fumeroles :</p>
<p lang="en">Back to my Yellowstone blogging, which got interrupted by a comic convention that lasted longer than planned… who the hell gets a car breakdown on friday evening before Easter? Thanks for nothing, Jesus. Well at least, I got my sugar eggs, catched a lizard, saw an eel, exterminated all edible marine life, and went to a pizzeria. And on wednesday when the car was repaired, I made it home <em>just in time</em> for Poirot. So all in all, I think pretty much all of my desires came true, expressed aloud or just in my head. Anyway, I couldn't have imagined a better transition for the upcoming photo serie, since the car problem started with a strong acid smell, and a battery acting as a volcanic landscape with its two little fumaroles.</p>

<h2>Artist Point / Lower Falls</h2>
<p>Je dois avouer que j'ai bien ri toute seule devant cette multitude de couleurs déversées sur les parois, que j'ai mitraillée en me disant que ça ferait de la doc pour G*******, coloriste de bayday qui ne conçoit pas le mélange de couleurs sur les éléments et est passé maître dans l'art de composer des tenues monochromes, sentai-style (pourquoi ??) J'ai moins ri devant les coustiques, tho.</p>
<p lang="en">I must confess that I had a good laugh in front of all these colors spilled randomly all over the cliffs, which I figured I could shoot to death as documentation for G*******, who does colors on comics. I suppose it would bother him greatly because the man cannot conceive using more than one color per element in his extraordinary monochromatic habits, to the point where even characters end up with some sort of color schemes, sentai-style (why??). Billions of mosquitoes again, sadly.</p>
