Jasper National Park’s Maligne Lake

After a couple of nights based at the campsite outside of Banff, our next step was to drive the 60 kilometres to Lake Louise. We spent the next couple of days exploring Lake Louise and Yoho National Park.

The Athabasca River is just over 1500 kilometres and the longest river in Alberta. Whilst the area has a wide diversity of wildlife, the only creature I saw during four days of canoeing and camping was an eagle.

This is the first of a series of photographic posts focusing on the highlights of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, including Banff National Park, Yoho National Park, Peyto Lake (part of the Banff National Park), Jasper National Park, and the Athabasca River.

Niagara Falls is made up of three waterfalls on the boarder between the USA and Canada. The largest, Horseshoe Falls, runs along both sides of the border.
