The beginning of Athabasca Falls |
 |
It was close to the parkway road and the tourists just flocked into this site.. |
 |
Upstream is docile and used for canoeing and rafting. You sure would not want to miss your take out. |
 |
The roar of this falls was deafening. |
 |
Definitely an unrunable class 6 drop. |
 |
Rafting is done just down stream of this falls. |

The road to this mountain, a nerve racking steep extremely curvy road. This was our first site of Mt. Edith Cavell. |
 |
Named for a famous nurse who helped the Jews escape from Germany into England. She lost her life in the effort and had this peak named after her by the Canadians. |
 |
The air up here was crystal clear and so clean. |
 |
The weather was again volatile. |
 |
We did a hike to this small lake where a glacier was melting into the water. It was quit brisk out and we had some light rain showers during the hike. |
 |
It was a pretty little lake. |
