This has taken far too many snatched hours to put together, but the photos were too good to let languish. In February we visited Alberta for a wedding, and were lucky enough to have clear weather for the drive from Calgary to Jasper via the Icefields Parkway, past spectacular mountains and glaciers. Other highlights were an ice-walk into the frozen Maligne Canyon, like a limestone cave but made of ice and outdoors; driving through near-whiteout conditions on Highway 16 to Edmonton (coming soon to a gaming console near you); and enjoying the frost and snow at –20°C. All captured here, with bonus elk.

Beautiful. Not been in that neck of the woods for 27 years, but still remember it very fondly. I loved the Athabasca glacier particularly.

It would look a fair bit smaller now than 27 years ago, I'll bet. (Nice to hear from you, Jen!)
