Leaping Salmon

We left Jasper and headed down the Yellowhead Highway (This Highway starts in Manitoba and goes through Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC) to Mt Robson Provincial park, there we discovered the Chinook Salmon were migrating and spawing so we went to Rear Guard Falls and we could actually see the Salmon leaping out of the water into the falls. It was quite a sight (No Bears eating them though apparently that only mainly happens in Alaska). We drove further along to Valemount, a nothing town except for the Salmon, for the night. We saw the Salmon spawning (making their nest and laying their eggs) we thought they were huge between 1 and 2 metres long but apparently they have lost 40% of their body mass since they left Vancouver according to the guy who gave a free talk on the Salmon in the evening.
