Wildlife Viewing Behavior at National Parks

The most abundant animals that I came across were elk and big horn sheep. This one herd of sheep must have numbered close to 20. I probably spent about five hours total with them during this trip. They are really interesting creatures though they seemingly spend the majority of their time grazing or laying down. [...]

Johnston Canyon

On my 4th day in the Canadian Rockies, I spent a rainy morning photographing Johnston Canyon. This was also another location that I had visited a child but I believe my mom suffered from some altitude sickness on this trail back then so we didn’t quite make it up to the Upper Falls. I personally [...]

The People You Meet While Traveling

One of the coolest parts of doing travel photography is the people you meet during your travels. In L.A., it’s rare I meet someone that strikes me as interesting but when I go to other places it’s always interesting to talk to people from a different place than myself. After shooting another late sunset around [...]

Athabasca Glacier

The turquoise water of Sunwapta Lake immediately caught my attention as I arrived at the foot of Athabasca Glacier. The reason why some of the lakes and rivers in the Canadian Rockies are this color is due to rock flour mixing into the water from glaciated mountains. As the photo looks, it was pretty cold [...]

Upper Waterfowl Lake

The Icefields Parkway is arguably the most scenic road within the Canadian Rockies. It’s about a 150 mile drive from the Lake Louise area to the town of Jasper. It passes through so many mountain peaks like the ones shown above that it’s impossible to take it all in within a short amount of time, [...]

Bow Summit

Though the other lakes in this part of the Icefields Parkway were still completely frozen, I was not going to leave Canada without at least attempting to see what Peyto Lake looked like from Bow Summit. I had never been there before but I had seen a lot of photos of this place so I [...]

Herbert Lake

Herbert Lake is one of the most stunning lakes that I saw in the Canadian Rockies. The first thing that catches your attention is how calm the water is at certain times of the day and the perfect reflection that results. It’s also very quiet aside from the birds which makes it a great place [...]

Driving in the Canadian Rockies

If you have never been to the Canadian Rockies, you’ll find that this is pretty much what it looks like everywhere you drive. Amazing scenery. Considering that there are four national parks that are connected together, you can easily cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. The thing is that the [...]

Life Savers at Natural Bridge

Natural Bridge within Yoho National Park was the location that I was most interested in visiting and not just because the split rock looks cool. I had some unfinished business to take care of. During my family’s vacation in 1986, we were on a tour bus (yes, one of those), but during our stop at [...]

Lake Louise

Lake Louise was still mostly frozen when I first arrived in Canada. Initially I wasn’t sure if I should even try photographing Lake Louise but then common sense prevailed. I visited on several other following days and gradually saw the lake thawing out which was quite fascinating though next time I want some ice-free images [...]
