Thank you. Yes, it's a genuine article, done in one shot, with some extra light from the crescent moon and my flashlight.

Excellent thanks for the detailed response. We'll be there last week in September first week in October. Hopefully it won't be too late for good foliage. I also just read that 4 person groups are required for certain areas due to bears?

Canada is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. So gorgeous!

I don't think this is the backside of Castle Mountain. [The peaks and spires in this pic don't look like anything you see from Rockbound Lake] (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5affa4dbe17ba31aab6cf10f/1560487696926-HLJFIKQFR7EN5PHDCIMG/RockBoundCal02FB.jpg?format=1500w) nor do they have the flattop and rather vertical rock faces that much of that mountain possesses.

Is that real? Awesome pic

The Spiral Tunnels and Wapta Falls are cool sights and low efforts off the highway, and Emerald Lake is the most popular attraction and pretty much Yoho's answer to Lake Louise.

But the two spots I'd recommend the most are the Lake O'Hara area , which is absolutely spectacular (if you're lucky enough to get a spot reserved since they limit visitors), and the Takkakaw Falls area.

Also if you're really into Earth's history the Burgess Shale is a fascinating fossil deposit that you can access via a guided hike.

Damn. That's beautiful

I miss it there sometimes. Such awesome memories.

What did you like better and why Alaska or Canadian Rockies? We did a large portion of Alaska last year and Canadian Rockies this coming September. TiA

Underrated history too. I made a post that discussed that in another group today. Africa’s contributions to human history and advancement are ignored, forgotten and even purposefully hidden.

Any place in yoho in particular? I'm going in September

Norway doesn't have Canada beat for wildlife no, just in natural beauty. I rank Norway higher than what I have seen of Alaska also. It's not a huge difference, mind you, just that my trip to Norway (traveling slowly from Bergen to Alesund) was the most beautiful travel experience of my life so far.

Lovely

Awh, thank you so much kind soul! I really appreciate that!

This picture is amazing.

Can you blame us? 😅

That’s an experience you’ll never forget though. Wow

This sub is literally like 80% Grand Teton NP.

I remember when I was a kid they didn’t care, my and my cousin have pics from way back when our granny took of us sitting on the branches.

Hah, no they've never let you do that all the times I've been there. They used to?

I was thinking this was banff as well

They don’t let you sit on it anymore??

Beautiful

Fun story: I’m in the Coast Guard and I was temporarily assigned to a ship in Hawaii. The crew dropped me off on this island because they needed someone to handle the mooring lines (ropes) when they came back. They didn’t come back until 18 hours later, effectively marooning me on Molokai
