Description
My arrival in Alberta Canada was not auspicious, at least from a photographic standpoint. There was a lot of rain and clouds just about down to the ground level. I awoke the next morning planning to drive north on the Icefields Parkway through Banff and Jasper National Parks but the day started out rainy, foggy, and cloudy. Like a game of musical chairs, when the sun appeared I stopped for a photo, regardless of the location! This was at the southern end of the parkway at the start of the journey. From the map, the only peak in the area is Waputik Peak, but I wouldn't place any money on it! From the Icefields Parkway website: 'To travel the Icefields Parkway is to experience one of Canada's national treasures and most rewarding destinations. Stretching 232km (144mi.) through the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, this world-class journey offers access to a vast wilderness of pristine mountain lakes, ancient glaciers and broad sweeping valleys. This special travel route winds its way through two national parks, boasting a unique and irreplaceable landscape rich in history and natural beauty second to none.' It is jaw-droppingly beautiful, once the clouds lift and you can see it in all its glory!
