Highlights

Another Angle

Stonehenge, England

Valley to Parking Lot

Sulphur Skyline, Jasper National Park

Wilcox Pass, Jasper NP

Harvey Pass

Harvey Pass, Banff National Park After about 4 hours, I was finally at Harvey Pass. And what a view it had. I sat here and marvelled at the view for a while.

Cairn

Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park Cairn markers. Sometimes these are all that can be used to find the trail (as I'll get to experience on later hikes).

Mountain Goat Passing

Little Beehive, Banff National Park There were other hikers atop Little Beehive, but the more surprising visitor was this mountain goat. It seemed to be missing some of its coat, maybe because it was shedding since it was summer? In any case, it didn't pay the human visitors much attention.

Valley of the Ten Peaks River

Sentinel Pass, Banff National Park On the way back, I stopped by this stream as it flows into the valley.

Great Wall Watchtower

Yanqing, China A panoramic view of the Badaling section of the Great Wall along with the tower at one of the peaks here.

Parker Ridge, Banff NP

Ice-Capped Mountain

Icefields Parkway, Jasper National Park Along the Icefields Parkway, scenic views of ice-capped peaks. The ice at the top is part of the Columbia Icefield.

Mt. Assiniboine Close-Up

Harvey Pass, Banff National Park Sking trails are visible in the foreground, while Mt. Assiniboine looms in the distance.

Looking Down at Two Lakes

Snowdonia National Park, Wales One final look down from near the summit at the trails and lakes.

Sulphur Skyline Mountain Folds

Sulphur Skyline, Jasper National Park

From Takakkaw Falls

Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park A final look at Wapta Mountain, as I follow the river from Takakkaw Falls back to the parking lot.

Town of Jasper

Whistlers Mountain, Jasper National Park Jasper up "close" from on top of Whistlers Mountain. It's not a big place, as befitting a town within such a giant national park.

Woodpecker

Bluffers Park, Toronto

Mono Cliffs View

Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, Ontario

Transmission Line Crossing

Yangtze River, China A top the sheer cliffs stand multiple transmission towers that string power across the width of the river.

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.

Grand Canyon South Rim

Grand Canyon National Park One of the first views of the magnificent Grand Canyon. This is a view from the South Rim.

Pembrokeshire Coast

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Wales

Valley of the Ten Peaks

Sentinel Pass, Banff National Park A great view of the ten peaks that make up the Valley of the Ten Peaks.

Sheep Dot the Hills

England

Angel Glacier
