This was the first stop on a mini road trip to Revelstoke with my year old daughter. She didn't really like the cold mist much. However, the sound of the waterfalls sure got her attention. We had this place all to ourselves all morning.
The turquoise waters of Bow Lake may look inviting, but rest assured they are frigid cold. Step in waist deep and you will surely be short of breath. The silt deposited from melting glaciers is what gives this water its magical colours. In the backdrop is Crowfoot Mountain with a glimpse of the headwaters of Bow glacier to the right of the image. This is an Iconic Alberta lake in Banff National Park.
Just outside of Port Alberni, Vancouver Island a beautiful roadside creek meanders through the temperate rainforest. The old remnant of a giant red cedar that has succumbed to the pressures of the logging industry slowly erodes away in the background.
