It's hard to believe that this was taken around 10am, but when you've got a blanket of smoke smothering you from a season full of wildfires, the world looks a little bit different. This was one of the worst weeks of smoke we experienced over the summer, and it happened to coincide with my only trip of the summer to Jasper. It made for a very different visit from my previous trips up there, and actually resulted in one of my favourite shots I've ever captured of Athabasca Falls.

Jasper National Park Mountain Landscape

Marmot Basin is an alpine ski area located on Marmot Mountain in Alberta's Jasper National Park.

As per usual, our trip up the Icefields Parkway on this day in early November took much longer than originally planned, so we didn't make it to Sunwapta Falls until blue hour had begun to settle on the landscape. And you know what? I reckon that's ok, since it made the already blue-and-white landscape that much deeper in colour.

In early November, my friend and I went out to shoot sunrise on the shores of Lake Edith on a brisk, -24ºC morning. We had to keep ourselves moving so we didn't freeze on the spot, but I found this spot fascinating enough that I stayed for quite a while. Yes, there was steam rising in the distance (where the lake was still not quite frozen) and a colourful sunrise, but this natural ice sculpture is what grabbed my attention. It's amazing that something like this can form from just a small pile of sticks (especially since there was nothing inside the top part of the spiral except for ice).

The northern lights light up the skies above Jasper and the waters of Lake Edith below. It was well worth the wait on the shoreline, even if it was so quiet that I jumped out of my skin when a fish jumped nearby! Camera: Nikon D750 w/ 16-35mm f/4 lens ISO 3200, 30s @f4

The skies above Medicine Lake lighting up in cotton candy pink early on a brisk morning in October. I was lucky to have such a perfect reflection as the lake was definitely beginning to freeze!

When I saw that the skies were staying clear, I headed out for a bit of night photography -- after all, what else should I have done on the last day of the Jasper Dark Sky Festival? I was pretty happy with my shots while I was there -- and even happier when I got home and realised I'd captured a bit of aurora without even noticing. Truly an accidental aurora!

The rocks of the gorge at Athabasca Falls are fascinating. Not only are they stunning colours, but the shapes betray how years and years of water movement have shaped the entirety of the gorge.

Looking back down the valley along the walk to Mount Edith Cavell and the Angel Glacier. The walkway to the left, down the valley itself, was closed in 2012 after a large landslide was triggered from 60% of the Ghost Glacier collapsing into the glacier lake below, making this path the only one up to the glacier.

What a contrast this scene was -- in one direction, we could see the glacial rapids of the Athabasca River hurtling over the edge of the falls under blue skies; in the other, we could see (yet another) angry storm approaching as a rainbow or two appeared in the mist. If you haven't driven the Icefields Parkway through the Canadian Rockies, put it on your bucket list now. This view is one of hundreds you'll have to stop and gawk at along the way!

Even in the -20º temperatures of a March morning in Jasper, the Athabasca River was flowing freely, the ice floating in its current just obscuring the reflections of the national park's mountains beyond.

A week before the Jasper SkyTram closed for the season and there was already plenty of snow at the top! What we anticipated to be a fairly short trip up turned into a full afternoon of walking around on the top of Mount Whistlers, enjoying the crunch of snow under our feet and the epic views all around us.

This little guy had clearly spotted me but wasn't worried enough to stop eating his meal before skittering off!

Pyramid Island in Pyramid Lake, with Pyramid Mountain above...and all of it reflected again below! I'm not sure if there are enough landforms in Jasper named after pyramids...

The Icefields Parkway was just one scenic lookout after another -- I was left with absolutely no questions as to why it's often included in "best roadtrips in the world" compilations. However, it was rare that we saw the parkway under blue skies. This was one of those lucky moments.

Visiting Jasper in early November was interesting; all of the lakes were just on the verge of freezing in the -20ºC, and the steam they'd produced had surrounded lakes such as Pyramid Lake with a gorgeous coat of hoarfrost. The one holdout was Patricia Lake, pictured here. Unlike Pyramid, less than 2km down the road, there was hardly any ice around this lake, and no snow whatsoever. It just added to what ended up being a day full of contrasts!

Sometimes a photo just tickles your fancy. This is one of them. I captured this image as we were driving through Jasper National Park along the Yellowhead Highway and I didn't notice the clouds at the time. Now, all I can see when I look at this image is a thought bubble above the summit of the middle mountain! I wonder what the mountain was thinking?
