The downside of excessive travel preparation stood directly in front of the stunning scenery film, already saw a lot of photos, so will not be surprised by. So, in addition to spontaneous travel path of the wind, no preparation is still doing visited this place remains intense in the mind map I do not know.

Canada Jasper National Park to the north of the Icefields Parkway to run 93A fall into the old, re-sign with Byway running a small to report. Dangerous because the narrow road with no center line of tourist buses and large camper over the entry way itself is a huge rock mountain appeared impossible.

The car was parked in the parking lot only to pull across a small creek trail began. Covered in snow-capped mountains visible behind a huge rock of 3,363 m above sea level, Mt. Edith Cavell. (Google Map Click here for a map)

"Mom, we walked up to where the calling?" The mother, of course, you do have to go to where the father, had no idea whether any future landscape unfold. doing none of preparation came from ... ^ ^

Shallow hill appeared before our eyes 'angel wings' Angel Glacier's appearance.

Made up the glacier trail ended here. Where we are now standing about 1,800 m above sea level looks back to Mt. Edith Cavell is here as well 1500 meters or more, especially in the thick of a glacial lake in the snow-covered mountain slopes as far as the height of a vertical cliff and said to be almost 1km!

At any time over the cliff is a huge roll of ice and rock fall, so be very careful that there was a sign asking, you want to go closer to the heart could not suppress.

Looking at the location of a piece of ice from the glacier is clearly off from Angel must have been. Because of the sharp rocks and ice, it is dangerous to walk on the but as we move forward in what was spellbound. I have a small scar Eddie guidebook (Mt. Edith Cavell) is not even did the introduction, found later turned TripAdvisor (www.tripadvisor.com) out of a possible 100% of the Jasper National Park, where it was ranked among the top attractions.

Angel Glacier, where it looked really wide side like the wings of an angel. The highest waterfall of melted glacier water, which creates falling, people look at the bottom right picture, that is roughly the size of a cliff hanging glaciers will be able to guess.

I can not raise this is, Because of its landscape is the landscape looks of it ... ^ ^ back to almost black vertical cliff 1km height because it is seen on the lake surface Cavell Glacier is a cross-section of well over 100 meters in height that but the story, this picture does not realize this. But ...

Walks closer to the bottom right of the blue-dressed wife - 'overwhelming landscape "when writing the word is gonna do this!

Angel looking up in this place is one of white doves look like ice. The walk up the glacier, where the cross section of the glacier ice cave made Over water down (Ice Cave) also comes, ice sculpture as you can see, I did have to stop to go to was too dangerous.

The crisis in this remote place to look to find a housewife who met with South Korea. California, Irvine, visit your relatives in Canada (friends?) You live with people who come to Vancouver, so we gave the family to take pictures. "Everyone is he doing well?"

Going to the lake, the ice is cracked or hear, that you could lose sight of the falls. The lake is quite high up across the meadows to climb out of a separate long trails, which end of the afternoon the weather was overcast and the rain started sprinkling was in a hurry to return to the parking lot.

Only now on his way to the bottom of the Angel Glacier saw pull zoom. (Even with the zoom function on the camera forget there was ^ ^) genus that this picture is nothing comparable to the size of the glacier, it is not only need something.

1-200 years ago, only now we were standing on the bottom is covered with ice, so now this is so barren stony grow new trees were hard. There is wisdom here is seeing signs up to be a dense forest, or covered with ice again only knew that the time had written.

Mt. Edith Cavell to come back down the mountain to the north of Route 93A rests, Jasper National Park to spend the night camping is the way to find. Rocky mountain towering like a pyramid, angel wings, a resemblance glaciers, waterfalls, and the cross section of a huge glacier floating on the lake, and such a sad story of a British nurse before impression, there really unforgettable vivid rainbow summed up memories of the trip was not.
