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 regarded as one of the best alpine drives in the world. Visitors are greeted with scenic views around every corner that include glaciers, turquoise lakes, endless pine forests, and of course, waterfalls.
Approximately 55 km (34 miles) south of the Jasper townsite along the Icefield Parkway is Sunwapta Falls. Sunwapta, in the language of the Stoney Nakoda Nation, translates to “turbulent river”. There are actually two waterfalls, the upper and the lower, located where the Sunwapta river abruptly changes course as the river carves its way through the limestone rocks to form a narrow canyon.
On this particular summer’s day in July, I arrived long after the tourists had left, set up the special equipment needed to create this VAST photo, and started shooting around 9 pm. It was a peaceful experience in a glorious setting, with just the noise of the water rushing by and the repeated clicking of a shutter. A photographer’s dream.
