Walking around in the prairies near the badlands of Alberta can be quite dangerous if you aren't paying close attention. This large prairie rattlesnake was found near some old farm equipment at the edge of a coulee just outside of Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. This is one of three species of rattlesnake found in Canada.
Waters rage as snow and glaciers melt high up in the mountains above Canmore, Alberta. This creek is a tributary to the Bow River drainage system. These waters will eventually make their way to Hudson Bay via the Nelson River but nowhere are they as clean and clear as they are here at their origin.
