Mount Jimmy Simpson - Bow Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta

The Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park is one of the most beautiful roads in the world. The three-hour drive (only if you don't stop) from the town of Banff to Jasper traverses through the Canadian Rockies. It is famous for its scenic mountains and lakes. About an hour and fifteen minutes north of the town of Banff lies Bow Lake. The northern shore of Bow Lake is the location of a great old lodge, the Num-Ti-Jah Lodge (the small red roof can be seen in this photo). The lodge looks quite small (it isn’t) with Mount Jimmy Simpson as its backdrop. If you are lucky enough, the surface of the lake will be calm giving you a great reflection. This image is just a very small slice of what you will find along the Icefields Parkway.
