Taken on my early morning dash to the town of Jasper to make reservations for Moraine Lake (a story told under other photos). Suffice it to say I was up before sunrise this day and the next. Getting up ONCE at such a time is an extraordinary feat for this night owl who usually rises at noon, if not later. But twice? In a row? I doubt this has happened in the previous 30 years. No matter, after actually completing the necessary morning tasks and setting out toward Jasper, I was, if a little bleary-eyed, quite buoyed by the scenes that played out before me--scenes never before seen by me. Western Alberta has to be among the most beautiful areas in the world.

That's the Athabasca River in the foreground. I have no idea what name was given to this mountain. It isn't very tall, so I haven't been able to locate it on a map. If anyone knows, feel free to educate me. It's placement on the map is but an approximation. There IS a mountain in Jasper NP called "Pyramid Mountain"--but this is not it.

Perhaps there's something wrong with my vision, but doesn't it seem to be glowing from within?
