Highlights

Wall Along the Mountains

Yanqing, China A view of the Great Wall snaking along mountain ridges into the distance. It's impressive just thinking about how arduous it would've been to build this wall out there.

Following the River

Sulphur Skyline, Jasper National Park

Daly Glacier and Takakkaw Falls

Iceline, Yoho National Park The source of Takakkaw Falls is visible here. The Daly Glacier, which is part of the larger Waputik Icefield sources the waterfall.

Tiny Bird Nests

Beijing, China In addition to the stadium itself, there are lamps along the path with the same design as the stadium's facade.

Upwards to Skyline & Strata

Sulphur Skyline, Jasper National Park Ascending the final climb towards the summit of the Sulphur Skyline hike. The views are getting better and better as I go up, including all of the strata on the surrounding mountains. The way up was steep and slippery though, as you can see the type of surface on the slope.

Iceline Trail

Iceline, Yoho National Park A panoramic view of the Iceline Trail. The trail is snow-covered in all directions, but I've followed the cairns to this point. And of course there's a great view across the Yoho Valley.

Armored Horses

Xi'an, China Away from the pits, this is a set of armored horses. Not visible here but they're pulling a chariot of some kind.

London Eye

London, England The iconic River Thames and the London Eye.

Entrance to Mt. Edith Cavell

Laughing Falls

Iceline, Yoho National Park Reaching Laughing Falls was a milestone because the remaining leg of the trail was just a straight path along the Yoho Valley.

Maligne Lake

Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park

Onwards on Iceline

Iceline, Yoho National Park From where I was resting, the trail seems to start its descent. I don't know where the trail exactly goes, but the cairns have been reliable so far.

Peering Far Away

Sulphur Skyline, Jasper National Park It's hard to judge distances, but there was lots to take in all around at the summit.

Wide View at Top of Mono Cliffs

Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, Ontario

Mt. Edith Cavell and Angel Glacier

Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park

Stained Glass Windows

Bath Abbey, Bath More grand architecture inside a cathedral, including a beautiful large display of stained glass windows.

First View

Stonehenge, England The iconic circle of rocks. It's an odd sight first to see this ancient monument to the sun and stars standing in the landscape.

Another Angle

Stonehenge, England

Cliff Strata

South Kaibab Trail, Grand Canyon National Park Along the trail, we get to get up close with the cliff faces. In addition to the fascinating strata exposed on the rock faces, you can find trees growing in places where you didn't think there was a place to root.
