Fri 9 Aug 2013 Going up north, to Jasper.

Fri 9 Aug 2013
Going up north, to Jasper.

Stopped at the Athabasca glacier.
This became a tourist trap. Yes, an easy
accessible glacier, but not much eventful l.

But what a surprise, the road going up north.
driving along the Athabasca River in between
impressive mountain peaks, covered with ice fields.

And then the waterfalls.
Nearly impossible to show, and so hard 
to make a selection of some pictures.





Columbia ice fields, the largest around.
And source of Athabasca glacier, most accessible.
A small piece dropped. See the size of the people
to get a perspective




Just another glacier along the road







And then a series of waterfalls, such as the
Sunwapta falls




And the Athabasca falls




And these are only one picture of the continuous streams of
waterfalls along the river.
