Continuing my journey in Canadian Rockies.
\n 
\n 
\n1. Going up the Maligne Valley in Jasper National Park.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9715b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n2. Allong the road, meeting with a small group of big horn sheeps and calfs.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9700b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n3. Likely only a few weeks old…
\n 
\n\"_DSC9704b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n4. Maligne River.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9713b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n5. And here are some variations on the beautiful Maligne Lake. In the rain first…

\n 
\n 
\n6. A gap emerges in the clouds.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9718b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n7. Some light now…
\n 
\n\"_DSC9722b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n8. … then a new shower arriving.
\n

\n 
\n 
\nThat concludes this series on the Rocky Mountains, for now at least.
\nVivaLaVida continued on the road to the north and entered the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. This highway was built in the forties and is completely paved since aboute ten years. It connects Dawson Creek to Anchorage, more than 1,700 miles away.
\n 
\n 
\n9. A wooden curved bridge on Old Alaskan Highway.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9732b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n10. Great construction!
\n 
\n\"_DSC9746b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n11. Nice Spring Flower Lake in Stone Mountain Provincial Park.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9751_pano_b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n12. I attended to ice sheets driven into the river that flows from Lake crashing on the rocks in a noise like a thousand of bells chime … Too bad I can not make you listen at… \ud83d\ude42
\n 
\n\"_DSC9758b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n13. Camp along McDonald Creek. It’s 11 PM, the days get longer as I move north…
\n 
\n\"_DSC9767b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n14. A bird I don’t remember the English name. Difficult to approach, it took me quite a few attempts to achieve…
\n 
\n\"_DSC9770b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n15. Muncho Lake along the Alaska Highway.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9774b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n16. Along the trail to hot springs, in a clearing, I first saw this male forest bison, a subspecies endemic to Canada that has adapted to life in the forest.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9782b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n17. On my guard because these behemoths have bad reputation, I discovered in a meadow a little further a herd with calfs of the year.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9778b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\n18. Marsh created by the sulfur springs that flow there. This water creates a unique ecosystem, with small fishes that can live only in the hot water. It is also very frequented by mammals which appreciate this highly mineralized water instead.
\n 
\n\"_DSC9786b\"<\/a>
\n 
\n 
\nThat ends my journey across British Columbia. I’ll take you soon discover a some of the Yukon… \ud83d\ude09
