July 7--Mt. Cavell & Angel Glacier

The highlight of our trip to Jasper had to be the trip to Mt. Edith Cavell and Angel Glacier. As an aside, the Canadians have strange names for some of their mountains, such as Mt. Edith Cavell. Edith was a WWII nurse and not even Canadian. The trip to the glacier and mountain was on a narrow road with switchbacks--that trip was thrilling, especially my screamed instructions to Forrest, like “Keep your eyes on the road!” & “You’re too close to cliff!” & “If you go over the cliff, you'll be dead before we hit the bottom."

Yes, we are still together and having fun!

Yes, I know I downloaded same pic 2x. Don't know how to delete. Angel Glacier is the ice in shape of spread angel wings. The gravel area with small trees is where the Cavell Glacier once stretched. As glaciers recede, they leave gravel and rocks and even boulders. However, new vegetations grows in once icy land. I apologize to those of you who know this. The pond beneath Cavell Glacier is filled with small icebergs that have fallen off of the glacier.
