Athabasca Falls

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.

Schaeumend!

The gorge.

Wow - what a big boy. A Black Bear.

The Black Bear (Ursus americanus), also known as the North American black bear or the American black bear is the most common bear species native to North America. In the mid 1990s, the population of black bears was estimated to have grown to between 396,000 and 476,000 in Canada.

Ausklang.

The Icefields Parkway (French Promenade des Glaciers), also known as Highway 93, is a scenic road in Alberta, Canada. It parallels the Continental Divide, traversing the rugged landscape of the Canadian Rockies. It travels through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, linking Lake Louise and Jasper.

Maybe made it a bit to dark though.

Canada Day - 1st of July

Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada), formerly Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), is Canada's national day, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the 1 July 1867 enactment of the British North America Act, which united Canada as a single country, which was in turn composed of four provinces. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as internationally.

I wish I had a better camera - sometimes.

I love this spot of the world sooo much.

A ground squirrl - squeaking it's heart out.

Oh little fellow - so cute.

Wanna one as a pet!

Being in a posh place treats one to posh views...

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I.

I took the one less traveled...

Ah such difference between a picture and being there.

Astonishing Lake Louise through the trees.

Snow - Snow in July! Right next to the lake.

Ah - ah!

Could look at it all day - but happy I do not have to!
