The Amazing Canadian Rockies

So surprised there wasn't a Canadian Rockies Group yet, now I'm not a starter but here goes. I'm hoping someone with more time than me will take over administration because I will drop the ball on a good thing considering my health.

Be respectful, no politics, just pretty photos and art.

The Canadian Rockies where superlatives of grandeur become mute in a landscape abounding with peaks competing to dominate the sky, psychedelic lakes that contend for the coolest colors of the light spectrum and rivers that appear to be a pleasing, but reality defying mistake in Photoshop. Being one of the most photogenic landscapes on earth, we have all seen photos of its break away stars, iconic landscapes like Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Peyto Lake and Maligne Lake but there is so much more.No matter which direction you go it as if you had the Colorado San Juan Range on one side of the road and Idaho’s Sawtooth Range on the other with the added bonus of prodigious waterfalls spilling out of the glaciers like the Chugach Range of Alaska. Of course, all the water feeds panoply of the colorful lakes that make the place famous.

The Canadian Rockies called and I answered.For decades I have been seeing photos of the landscape of this amazing corner of Canada and visiting with many who had been there and, oh, how I longed to go. The problem, the good time to go is when I am busiest guiding in Yellowstone.

This group was started on February 7th, 2023.
