Mistaya River and a Mountain Backdrop with Mount Sarbach and the Canadian Rockies (Banff National Park)

            This whole day was magical with the mountains all around...what an amazing view at pretty much any turn! This is at Mistaya Canyon with a view to the South and West. For this image, I loved the river flowing through the glacial valley...nature in action over the eons of time. 
I know many talk about their piece of heaven being this city or tropical beach. This setting in the mountains is it for me, whether Alberta, Montana, Alaska, Colorado...any place there's big, huge, magnificent mountains!
