Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park,
the Lawren Harris Group of Seven Way?

When Evening Falls
Photo By Stephen A. Nelson

A view of Maligne Lake, in Jasper National Park, at dusk. 

No special effects, FX, PhotoShop or CGI here.

Except for the boathouse, I imagine this is how Lawren Harris might have seen it when he came here.

I took this photo while leading a Japanese television crew on a tour of the Maligne Valley.

We followed up with dinner at the Kimchi House in Jasper - best Korean food this side of Seoul.

Jasper in January, Winter in the Canadian Rockies:
Those who love it, love it a lot

JASPER - Those who love it, love it a lot.

And for those who love winter in the Great Outdoors – there's a lot to love at Jasper in January, Alberta's own unique answer to Quebec's Winter Carnival and Winnipeg's Festival du Voyageur.

The festival is a two-week showcase for everything that's great about the Rockies in Winter.

This is where the adventure of Great Outdoors meets the arts and culture of the Great Indoors – a party in the park that's become “Western Canada's premiere winter festival.”

Railway Journey...
Across the Great Divide:
Riding the Rails to Robson


All aboard for trip of a lifetime with VIA Rail



It’s been said that the Jasper-Mount Robson region is a taste of heaven — and that travelling through the Canadian Rockies is like living inside a Group of Seven Painting.

So, like characters from a Narnia story, we are about to be drawn in by the magic of Mount Robson’s striking colours and bold form.
