(Click here for Google map)

Appeared just in time to eat lunch line Sunwapta Falls Indian-made tent in the resort's parking lot to take pictures in front of the one I went to visit a waterfall.

Columbia Icefields glaciers and snow melt water is gathered, along Route 93 here in the middle of the Sunwapta River interesting island, just below ...

Cleft of the cliff 19m high with a line of white foam causes Sunwapta were falling waterfall.

This waterfall falls away from the attraction of water to come down hard rock canyons of vertical flows out nicely, making a will. Bridge across the cliffs above shaking hands with his wife and wisdom.

Wife stood on the bridge overlooking the waterfall, this figure went up, which is a small island in the middle of the river and its unique appearance is indeed a narrow gorge below. We are here to listen to the sound of the waterfall in the forest picnic area to eat lunch then off again to boil.

We are running the Icefields Parkway is a place where wild animals are famous for a lot of infestation, and how much the little goat passes we continue to be mother.

They are filled with friends goat hill right ...

Where the next to arrive, but in a similar style ska larger Athabasca is 23 meters high waterfall. The front of the gap (GAP) family photo outfits sponsored ^ ^

This bridge across the river to view the waterfall, which back up to the mountain of rock that look more cool than hanging out.

Tempestuous river falls away from the vortex, so while clippers tight draining strata are smooth

A place where you should not miss, which was created through the cliff looking down the stairs and will thus downstream. Gazebo made in writing where the end of the rapids ...

This is a wide river in Jasper (Jasper) flowing toward the right of the vertical cliffs of the river, and

This left the dense forest and the river, and see the number of people in a rafting boat has to float.

Every time I see a rafting boat like that in the old company went pep rally remember ... ^ ^

Calm water, not much seemed to have thought it was funny,

The downside is that the current was quite white rapids were waiting for it. I'm in the boat and head boat than the time a lot of time training than self-denial, so I want to try a great place to while rafting on the back parking lot.

This air stream from the parking lot (Airstream) camping trailer can make the look-aluminum alloy and is very light and shiny, curved confirm the appearance of the eye catching trailer is fine. So, of course, the price is not too expensive ... until later Airstream trailer, even the stupid idea of ​​one side while dragging it unless indeed, tonight also find a place to tent camping in Jasper National Park visited.

[Canada] Lake Louise and the Icefields Parkway Jasper that connects Crowfoot Glacier and Peyto Lake

Peyto Lake between Lake Louise and the Icefields Parkway of Jasper National Park

Chapter meets in the morning ... for the first time in Canada before camping in Lake Louise (Lake Louise) and Moraine (Moraine) is really the spirit of the lake from hundreds of photographs taken under the laptop down. With a 30-day camping trip was invaluable Canon 400D camera and the Compaq laptop also comes up I'm gonna do this once ^ ^

Camping in the tall trees yesterday, did not know it overwhelming, so through the trees near the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky seemed covered with unforgettable Canada Banff National Park camping here to leave, traveling 14 days which today is Jasper (Jasper) National Park by bus.

Map of Lake Louise and Jasper like 93 times, connecting Canada about 230km section of road is 'Icefields Parkway (Icefields Parkway)' It's called a valley surrounded by snow-capped peaks of the blessed, custom-built tourist road, all over the world course of a reputation for a beautiful drive in the way. Points are on display in the middle of where we are willing Tofino pause only, in addition to many beautiful lakes and mountains are lined along the way.

Lake Louise to the west of Highway 1 from the cracked road after entering 93 times to announce the start of the tourist road signs are emerging are so many ways to prevent the National Park admission tests, in effect on the date of receipt to show tickets the. This is not my way to $ 100, but at about $ 20 a day by calculating the number of days to receive newsletter every National Park of Canada is the admission that it was indeed disagreeable. (Photo captured from Google Street View)

Icefields Parkway runs along most of the valley, because not so long Wiggly room to really enjoy the great outdoors and can drive. Tilt your head to pass, maybe once or twice, but did not quite summer, 230km bike is the way to see a lot of people are said to be running. There are several camping and hostel in the middle, but the gas station in Lake Louise from 3.1 to about 11 times the road and need to be careful only to meet Saskachewan. In addition, covered in snow from November to March is the winter passage of the chain can be sweet, but the operation of the road close to all facilities should keep in mind that it does not.

Our first stop was the point of this place is 34km from Lake Louise Lake of the Bow (Bow Lake) is. Sure where it is shown on the left should visit ...

The Crow Foot Glacier (Crowfoot Glacier)'s appearance. At the bottom of the first one hundred years ago, it had three toes up, and now it has melted away ditches. Moreover, among the recently broken toe that is getting to melt, this is the 'global warming' because ...? So, on this day the 'ice field (icefields)' while running throughout the day, worries about global warming far more than a lifetime to be in my life ^ ^

Early in the morning to watch the bow (Bow) lake is Lake Louise and Moraine Lake yesterday, and is also different. The red roof of the house across the lake that is?

Bow Summit and ran back to the car a little more arrived. This is literally the Icefields Parkway of 2085m above sea level, the highest hill in that head. Flowing into the hills south of Banff Bow (Bow) river begins, the four north Scarborough Saskatchewan (Saskachewan) river flows out along Route 11. Pulled up in the parking lot for about 10 minutes go up along the mountain path, the gentle, the most famous Icefields Parkway overlooking the lake can be seen ...

Just summer turquoise (turquoise) of the page Sat famous lake (Peyto Lake) it! (It's been a long time leads to panoramic photos attached - click to enlarge) is a glacial lake under the influence of minerals dissolved in striking such a bright turquoise, having gradually starting to snow fall color was changed to blue color is a clear, winter After catching the spring melt and then freeze again to change the color of turquoise is famous for getting a sharp knife. "Here, let's wait until the fall once ^ ^"

From early morning a lot of people from all over the world to see the lake full of observatory had gathered. So far the valley, downhill Icefields Parkway continues to lead to change, and in the river downstream of the lake to another lake to catch Miss (Mistaya Lake) for the figure seems.

11 Saskachewan Crossing the road splits east elevation is a lot comes down to near the rocky mountains of snow lowers are almost gone. A rock of a cliff on the mountainside that growing trees and grasses hanging, but also to wear, go to the bottom of the black and red burn marks I was wondering why it looks like.

Canadian Rockies again (Canadian Rocky) of magnificent mountains covered with perpetual snow goes running toward. Direct driving feel this way ... What can I say? Just fantastic!

Relatively gentle way to run long after, a big mountain to trek up the hill to the road made significant flex Big Bend (Big Bend) 'comes out the place, I stood on the hill looking back, so we were just down the length The past looks cool along the valley. Now, more than the entire car back up on the mountain, Jasper (Jasper) began the National Park, you can step on your own silver ice floe in Columbia (Columbia Icefield) will finally reveal the figure.
