Jasper III

A pigment in the water coming down from glacier is part of the explanation
for the beautiful blue of the water.
On my trip to Maligne Canyon I had to get off the bike and push it by hand.
Otherwise I might have missed this amazing sight.
MALIGNE CANYON
One of the most spectacular gorges in the Canadian Rockies, sheers limestone walls plunge to depths of over 50 metres. An interpretive trail winds its way from the picnic area across six bridges where you can catch the spray from the thundering Maligne River, or peer into the mossy detphs.

Caught spray here.
Was like mother natures very own AC on a warm summers day.

Two birds nesting in the side wall.


Up to 50 meter depths. Visualise that...


Is enough to have still snow in you pocket even if it is melted everywhere else...

Pyramid Mountain is a mountain in Jasper National Park, Canada named for its pyramid-like shape. James Hector named the mountain in 1859 due to its appearance from the Athabasca River valley on the eastern side of the peak.
