Entering the Columbia Icefield Signs in the parking lot There just is no way I could capture the strange feeling of being in an alien world I felt while there. I also hate the sun glares in photos but decided to work with it The sign says that in 1982 the glacier edge was at the sign...

Does this cloud look odd to you? I guess I've watched too many Lord of Rings and Harry Potter movies because I see a goblin blowing a smoke ball

Tangle Creek Falls Jasper Waterfalls and Rainbows

Rainbows and Waterfalls To say I was in heaven would be a serious understatement I tried to use my ND and polarizer together to smooth water but keep the rainbows but it didn't work with my ND :( So stuck with polarizer to capture the rainbows I got a fantastic...

Tangle Creek Falls We saw it along the road and stopped and it ended up being our most fun waterfall stop. It was fun to climb and playing with the multiple levels of falls kept me busy while kids climbed and fought over giant icicles :) I did do some playing with my ND filter but I'll...

The view from the bottom of tangle creek falls The view as we walked back down the falls

Here's a couple stops to take in the view as we headed towards the Columbia Icefields

I'll interrupt my Jasper photos with yesterdays late Thanksgiving photos Mmm the house smelled so good! And for dessert kick butt 1 eyed monster cupcakes with extremely colourful cream cheese icing. I had to make up a dessert to donate for 4-H awards dinner on Friday so made extra for us...

More blue-tiful :) Tired little lion Falls came down this way until it wore down a new way The other side of Falls

First stop Athabasca Falls I couldn't get over all the beautiful turquoise water in every river. The water level is very low because this is Fall so I'd love to come back in Spring

Doggie Park ​The next day we found a group of 30+ elk less than .5km away

Instead of prepping a Thanksgiving turkey on Sunday morning we headed out to Columbia Icefields

After walking on mountains then wandering in canyons we soaked in Miette Hot springs. The parking lot was covered in Don't feed the sheep signs but we didn't see any but it was pitch black It was about 10pm when came across this guy as we drove back to campgrounds. He was VERY unhappy at the...

The walk is only 5kms but steep so I was very proud of my 6yr old I was amazed by the trees etc that seemed to thrive in places that seemed impossible

Bridge 2 we could hear the water below but couldn't see it

More water up by bridge 1 by this time it was getting quite dark out

Down around bridge 4 Sadly Bridge 5 was closed and not far after this the water disappears underground

Springs and Falls at the 3rd bridge at Maligne Canyon Water appears here and then is what becomes the falls I would LOVE to see this when its all frozen ice in winter it would be stunning
