A video of Forum Lake in Akamina-Kishenena in British Columbia. Although not technically in the Alberta portion of the Rocky Mountains, Forum Lake in most accessible from Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta. There is also an increasing possibility of this pristine mountain region becoming a National Park. This lake drains into the Flat Head River which is threatened by mining in the area. UNESCO is looking into the possible threats of mining in this area and how they would effect the nearby Waterton National Park, Glacier National Park, as well as the Flathead Valley itself.
This is a trip we made to Jasper, with some shots made on the way to Hinton as well. Beautiful landscapes on a warm day in April. These are the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
The Canadian Rockies comprise the Canadian segment of the North American Rocky Mountains range. They are the eastern part of the Canadian Cordillera, extending from the Interior Plains of Alberta to the Rocky Mountain Trench of British Columbia. The southern end borders Idaho and Montana of the USA. The northern end is at the Liard River in northern British Columbia.

Jasper National Park is the largest of Canada’s Rocky Mountains parks. Jasper spans 10 800 square kilometers of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, alpine meadows and wild rivers along the eastern slopes of the Rockies in western Alberta.
