Sunwapta Falls (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Here I was able to bring out more vibrant colors to not just the trees and but also to the river with that green-turquoise color.

Jasper National Park, AB (No. 8)
The park contains several major roads, most of which are intended to be scenic routes that provide access to all of the park's front-country attractions. Since a good sample of parks scenery and wildlife can be viewed from the roads themselves, driving them is considered a core part of the park experience.
Highway 16 (part of the Trans-Canada Highway and Yellowhead Highway systems) is the main route through the park and is the only major east–west corridor crossing the mountains in that area. It serves as both an important trade and travel corridor for through traffic and a tourist route allowing visitors to access and view many of the park's attractions.
The Icefields Parkway (also known as Highway 93) is a highway 230 km (140 mi) in length running from Lake Louise, Alberta, in Banff National Park, to Jasper, Alberta, where it meets Highway 16. The scenic highway runs parallel to the continental divide, providing motor and cycle access to the heart of the Canadian Rockies and is considered to one of the park's main attractions. Along its length the parkway has many viewpoints, tourist attractions, hikes and campgrounds. The Athabasca and Sunwapta Falls are both accessible by the road. In May 2014, Glacier Sky Walk opened to the public. It is glass-floored observation platform 280 metres (920 ft) over the Sunwapta Valley. Unlike Highway 16, the Icefields Parkway is strictly a tourist route, and all freight traffic is prohibited from using the road. All users must have a parks pass.

Sunwapta River and Falls (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Here I wanted to capture an image with a portrait orientation as it had more of the rapids and then leading to the falls.

Day 14 Journey from Jasper to Banff First stop Athabasca Falls
And a quick roadside stop at a place I think Bruce (the bus driver) called Tickle Falls.
Then it was off to the Columbia Icefield Centre, with the view of 3 glaciers . . .
Hilda and Athabasca glaciers (left)
and Athebasca and Dome glaciers (right)
Dome Glacier is one of four glaciers fed by snow/ice/water from Snow Dome peak. Water from Snow Dome's summit can end up in the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, or the Atlantic Ocean!
Then, all aboard an Ice Explorer
to go walk on Athabasca Glacier (and drink the glacial water!).
(Proof I was actually there)
Next stop was the Skywalk over the Sunwapta Valley
with views through the glass floor.
Then, lunch at the Altitude restaurant in the Columbia Icefield Centre before heading back on the road.
We got stuck in traffic at The Big Bend for around 35mins. This is the place where the two teams building the Icefields Parkway (one from Jasper in BC, the other from Banff in Alberta) were supposed to meet. Apparently some of the calculations were slightly out, so they "fixed" it with a giant curve in the road to bring the two ends together.
(You'll have to look closely to see the queued traffic in both directions.)
Our final official stop of the day was Peyto Lake (or a lookout above it.)
