Bald Hills, Jasper National Park Looking over the tree tops on the Bald Hills hike, overlooking another valley to some partially snowy peaks. The wispy clouds add a nice touch too.
Bald Hills, Jasper National Park Bald Hills - I can see where the name for this hike came from. The tops look quite devoid of anything but dirt and rock.
Bald Hills, Jasper National Park Another angle on the Bald Hills hike. This time the peaks are not as "bald", but the trees are clearly thinning out up here. They're quite stunted even if they manage to grow.

Bald Hills, Jasper National Park A bit over-exposed, but can see part of Maligne Lake. It's a rather long lake and it keeps going for bit.
Opal Hills, Jasper National Park On the other side on the Opal Hills trail, another look at the long Maligne Lake.
Opal Hills, Jasper National Park Shifting back from the view of Maligne Lake, this view shows the Bald Hills on the other side of the valley.
Opal Hills, Jasper National Park Returning via the Opal Hills trail gives views into some more distant ranges, with a distinctively different formation. These mountains have much sharper ridges and are more defined than the other ones in the area.
