Mighty.  Rugged.  Magnificent.

Rolling foothills, formidable mountains and pre-historic hoodoos are a few of Alberta’s natural landmarks.  What is most impressive though are Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, compose of the world famous resort towns of Banff, Jasper, Canmore, Kananaskis, Lake Louise and Waterton.  Alpine towns sprinkled through the Canadian Rockies and are ideal starting points for any mountain adventures.  This week’s photo hunt theme is all about Rock(s) and I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off this series of beautiful towns and majestic mountains so stick around for more of the Rockies in the coming weeks.  Aside from beautiful mountains and lakes, we’ll be seeing wildlife too.  Stay tuned.

The higest of the world’s mountains it seems, has to make but a single gesture of magnificence to be the lord of all, vast in unchallenged and isolated supremacy.
