Pyramind Mountain


There is a road on the otherside of Pyramid Mountain which almost reaches the top. The road is not open to the public but was used until recently by the a telecommunication company which used to have a communication tower on its peak.

On this day, it was minus 17 and yet the fast moving water kept the river from freezing over. Even if it had frooze over, the ice would have never held the weight of a person. So stay off the river!

Mountain Pass Road
I wasn't the only one who found this view spectacular, the gentleman in this photo spent twenty minutes taking pictures.
From this spot, there were eleven different major mountain peaks.

The Edmonton Downtown Sky line. Edmonton has just over 750,000 people living in its metropolitan centre.
The picture shows the Hotel MacDonald lit up as well the glass pyramids.

Mount Athabasca


Mount Athabasca
About twenty kilometers from Jasper, you pass by this mountain along the road. For most, this is a just a quick glimpse in the side window. But definitely a view worth a second look.

Care to Join US for an evening dip?

Minus 17 Celsius ( 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit), 8:30 Pm and nothing to do? Not at the Jasper Park Lodge Fairmont, it is the perfect time for a swim.

Highway 93: A Journey to the Sky


Journey to Sky
This is one of those times where a picture says it all. This was one of a few pictures taken on the trip from Banff to Jasper National Park.
On this overcast day, a few of the mountains were cloud covered; however, this one decided to stay out and show itself off.
