Medicine Lake Reflection - Jasper National Park, Alberta

Earlier this year, I visited Banff and Jasper National Parks for the third time in the last four years. A tradition that I have followed for many years is to end up the trip with one of my favorite things to do in Jasper—take the boat ride on Maligne Lake to Spirit Island. It is aptly named, as it seems to uplift my spirits whenever I am there. On the way back to the town of Jasper, I have always passed Medicine Lake, pictured here. I have passed this lake so many times since my first visit to Jasper but I have never seen the waters perfectly still. Of course, we had to stop to capture the rugged Rocky Mountains reflected in the waters of the lake.
