It has been quite a low snow year so far, but the Rockies with a dusting of snow are still a beautiful place for a stroll! #CanadianRockies #MountRobsonPP #Photography #BergLakeTrail https://image.nostr.build/63ca17c69da85015cb9a0bfb2860e3cd6cae7a32a9d334b5b306eac20e4b501d.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1503x1002&blurhash=rWGlo34%3BIU%25MbJRjRit6ayXBp0V%40s%2CWCj%5DWBoeay.AE2j%5DxuWBWCj%5DofWBs6Mwoet7WAaxbIogj%5BISs-kCWBaeofa%7Dayj%5Bs*acWBWYa%7Ej%40WAWBaz&x=e92b739bd9313955a1e55e2321cd78edd4cea8e8e751ee37fbd1453dfa89fc90

For the coldest of cold storage, its sometimes necessary to stash a seed backup in the snowy backcountry. #bitcoin #backcountryskiing #mtsocks #canadianrockies https://image.nostr.build/8677b906549875eadf9df91935beed8d7954f0dc33f6fd1f21708655a823c067.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1280&blurhash=rLKxxz_4%25i4T%25hozV%3FbcWA8%5E%25h%25NDhxvozV%3FkDWB%25MNFockDWAogV%40kCbI%25gM_V%40t8WAj%5DWBfkfmV%40s%3Bj%5DRjofj%5DaxWBflM_t7ozRiazogofV%40az&x=5dde5e5cacf1b7766bbd79cda4beb3496b05ee223b022f4af1029d3c36eff1ed

Its been quite a low-snow start to the winter season, but there are still many pretty views to see! #photography #CanadianRockies #sunrise https://image.nostr.build/fade765a1d1195c253c517d84bccc8c4798a211990f0c8a147c705c1e8cb438d.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x876&blurhash=ZTC%258Na%234%3BWC%250s-WCWCj%5B%7EqbcE3WCs%2CoeazayfPIqflxZaeWCWVoej%3Ff74%3Aj%5B-TayRlWXfPkBj%5B&x=dfe6d98d0fe77c3914a1b6340318eda64ea50def3f3805ffcdb07100a9be7683

Another new offering for Summer 2024. For those short on time looking to explore Cairn Pass along Jasper's South Boundary Trail, check out this helicopter assisted 4 day trip. Our adventure starts flying into Rocky Pass, just outside of the Jasper Park boundary, travels along the Medicine Tent River over Cairn Pass, and finishes with a helicopter-pickup near the lower Southesk River.

Slipping and sliding around town yesterday morning still saw some special sights. Warmer temperatures and higher humidity than we often get around Jasper has made morning ice fog a not uncommon experience in the past couple weeks. #MyJasper #winterinjasper #photography #canadianrockies

Yesterday's ramble lead eastwards around the Celestine Lake Road capturing this image blending summer and winter. While in the summer this road can access North Boundary Trail, it's often a lonely place during the winter. #MyJasper #Photography #CanadianRockies
