Towards Jasper
Via Train, Alberta And that's Mt. Edith Cavell in the background, which I'll soon visit after I arrive in Jasper.
Cruising to Mt. Edith Cavell
Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park What a stylish car I got for my trip! Not only was it a PT Cruiser, it was red.

Glacial Stream
Mt. Edith Cavell and Angel Glacier
Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park Hike #1: Mt. Edith Cavell's Angel Glacier. I had departed the train, got my rental car and what not, then headed out to this first short hike. Angel Glacier is relatively small for a glacier and is visible on the right.

Angel Closeup
Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park Playing with my SLR, a close-up of the Angel Glacier. Scale is hard to appreciate here, but it's almost certainly bigger than it looks.
Ice Lake
Footprints up High
Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park This is way up on the face of the mountain - some kind of mountain-climbing animal?
Icy Reflections
Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park This was near the end of June, so this much snow and ice was surprising.
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).
Mt. Edith Cavell Lake
Mt. Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park The icy lake was impressive, if not only because this was at the end of June.
