Jasper VI

Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park is just 23 metres high. However, it is not known for its height. Instead it is known for the force of the falling water due to the quantity of water flowing. Even on a cold morning in the fall, copious amounts of water flow over the falls. A layer of hard quartzite has allowed the falls to cut into the softer limestone below carving the short gorge and a number of potholes.

WOW?!

The hazy spray illuminated by the morning sun from behind.
Wat will man mehr? ;)


Cut through the lime stone like butter.



Tumbling depths.



And another mountain goat which is non.


Cheeky little bugger ey? :)
