Jasper, Baniff, Lake Louise to Whitefish Mt USA, Tue 10-13-15

The Canadian Rockies, blue skies, here's one of so very many, eye candy for mountaineers....



Sad picture of pine beetle damage, an entire mountainside of trees destroyed, we saw this in so many places.....




Lots of snow cover on top, these mountains go on for mile after mile, nothing like this near Plessis....
A good shot of your basic mountain and babbling brook.... a brisk waterfall, so many of those...
two of a fast-flow through a gorge....

another river/rapids area, snow-capped mountains in background, confused tourist in foreground...
Ya' gotta trust me on this, mile after mile of these mountains, it's really overwhelming when considering all those you can't see that are away from the roadway, and the roadway was placed in the easiest spot to build a road, eh?
Interesting "uplift" shape to these peaks, gives one a sense of some real forces at work, once upon a time..

Louise with snowy scene....interesting contrasts this time of year, all green at elevation of roadways, that winter is near at hand is obvious when looking up...

Your basic Canadian horny old goat.... found him wandering roadside, he seemed not at all put out by our presence, and waited for us to leave...
Glacier's end, retreating from it's previous location in the foreground.
If you're a geologist, I guess you might be intrigued by these parallel lines.
It's a lonely road, but I'm gonna get there......  The little Miata is now a long way from Kawai....
Lake and mountain shot - it's pretty here, eh?
