Showers over the past few days have led to lovely wildflowers along the Fiddle River Trail. Forecasts point to sunny skies for the next week, it will be a great week to be out in the hills! #MyJasper #Backpacking #Flowers

We have been out around the Kinbasket Reservoir scouting new routes for future seasons. Still a bit too much snow to reach the lake, but the first few glacier lilies are sprouting up around Lilly Meadows! #Valemount #Hiking #Photography

With only 2 days until the start of summer we had a bit of a frosty surprise yesterday morning around Jasper with fresh snow falling by the west gate! While town can recieve snow any month of the year July, August, and September are quite unlikely. #MyJasper

You never know what you might come across on the trail. Here a trailside moose antler shows a bit of odd texture; small animals such as rodents will often gnaw on antlers, part of a natural recycling process! #MyJasper #Nature #Moose #CanadianRockies

While the full Berg Lake Trail will remain closed for reconstruction this summer, Kinney Lake (a short stroll on an excellent trail) is still a breathtaking destination to visit. Pristine glacial fed waters and the soaring peak of Mount Robson give the landscape a dramatic sense of scale. #Robson #BCParks #Valemount #Photography

Even "evergreens" can show different colors if you look close! Here older spruce needles have a darker shade while newly grown needles are bright and verdant. There's plenty to see from afar and close up in the Rockies! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

The Moab Lake Road is closed to cars until May 30 but open for bikers and hikers! A short ramble brings you to the pristine waters of the Whirlpool River and a tranquil perch above Moab Lake. Snow above and budding plants below, summer is almost here in Jasper National Park! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography

The Jasper House historical site is somewhat hard to get to (being on the far bank of the Athabasca River) but the short roadside viewpoint trail is worth a wander. Hard to believe this was once the busiest place in what is now the Jasper National Park region! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography

A beautiful sunrise and moonset from Pyramid Island this morning. Warm winds are blowing through Jasper National Park today and tomorrow giving a glimpse of the summer season to come. #CanadianRockies #MyJasper #Timelapse
