The Icefields Parkway starts at the townsite of Lake Louise in Banff National Park and travels north to the townsite of Jasper in Jasper National Park. It is a wonderful drive with endless mountain peaks and glaciers to see along the way. This, understandably, makes it a very popular drive in the summer months. In the winter, it can be just as spectacular, however, it is only visited by a comparable few. The road condition can be very poor and huge snow accumulation can sometimes leave people stranded, but winter is by far my favorite time to visit this area.
Just after crossing into Jasper National Park, there is what remains of a massive rockslide. Huge boulders of quartzite dominate the area with only a few trees making footholds amongst them. The various orange, grey, and pink boulders are interesting to explore in summer but once the snow comes, the real transition to the surreal takes place. Once covered in snow, the scene is transformed into a marvel of soft undulating mounds with beautiful shadows and highlights.
On my most recent visit, I was determined to capture this wonder in a way that only VAST images can deliver. I wanted incredible detail and everything in sharp focus from the closest snow crystals in the foreground, to the peaks of the distant mountains. I used specialized equipment and techniques to capture and assemble the image and in the end, I’m very happy with the result. If you can’t visit this location in the winter, I hope this image allows you to experience the beautiful tranquil view it provides.
