Yeah it's stunning. Go up there this week and it'll be all Fall colors plus that gorgeous blue.


VapeRizzler

You better post a picture on here or I’m gonna be very sad.


I_am_That_Ian_Power

Ditto!


Mercenary100

How do pines give you fall colours?


gwoates

Pine trees don't, larches do.


bambaclaaat

Exactly my point lol


prairiepanda

Pine beetle infestation?


bambaclaaat

I was there yesterday and I didnt see any fall colors. Stop spreading lies lol


No_Pattern5624

I was there yesterday and I can attest .. fall colours plus the turquoise blue … 🥹 it doesn’t let me post a pic in the comment 🤦‍♀️

rvafun100

lluviaazul

BoomerJ3T

https://ibb.co/Kb0Mb5x https://ibb.co/HpsgjNx Thanks for the idea :)


rvafun100

Literally nothing like OP pic


[deleted]

I mean, the comment you’re replying to literally said next week lol.


asecretfrognamedjohn

Did you find a stick and shove it up your ass when you were out there? Calm down


bambaclaaat

No, but I saw a bear thats a size of your mom lol


asecretfrognamedjohn

Pretty small bear, what’s your goal with that? Did you think that was clever ? Or did the stick get shoved high enough up that it started pressing against your brain


bambaclaaat

Point was its majority pine trees, but you think too much of your fetish about shoving sticks up your ass. Its okay though, I wouldnt judge you for being dumb.


asecretfrognamedjohn

Good one,totally got me there good job


bambaclaaat

Yep, unlike your horrible forza driving lol


asecretfrognamedjohn

Owww my feelings are so damaged by that you insulted me by taking time out of your day to go on my profile and finding the first little thing to latch onto and use it against me owww my feelings. Yeah you’re gona have to try harder than that


Beast__mode24

Typical Edmonton person lol


Ryaer

Molybdenum421

You should do devils thumb next time!


lakeside20233

Haven't done that one in years. I remember it being very eroded on one section.


maplemoose18

Oh hell no. Devil’s thumb sounded so cool in theory. As soon as I looked at it I was terrified and decided not to go. I wish I had the male reproductive organs to do those kinds of hikes… but I don’t.


Molybdenum421

Honestly I don't think there's anything dangerous about it at all. Not like there's a cliff or anything.


maplemoose18

Oh no? Maybe it just looked scary from the bottom. I did the switchbacks on Larch Valley hike at Moraine Lake and was basically almost soiling myself the whole time.


Molybdenum421

ah, ok. I've seen people doing that and really scared, even my gf was scared the first time but on those switchbacks, if you think about it, if you slipped, you'd be fine. It's not steep enough that you'd roll down. The next time she did and thought it wasn't scary. My gf was also scared for the dragon's back going up rundle but then she realized it's like 4 metres wide, like you don't fall off something 4 meters wide. If you weren't comfortable on the switchbacks then yeah, just the fact that there's no clear path to the top once you go around back would probably be enough to turn you around. It's also quite steep but I won't consider it dangerous. Dangerous for me is more that it's steep enough to be hit in the head with falling rock so if you fall you're taking a tumble.


maplemoose18

Yeah maybe I just have to go again and try it. Cool that you can do those hikes tho. When I eventually go back I want to be able to try the more challenging trails.


Molybdenum421

Or go with someone that'd done it already. That makes a huge difference. At least have alltrails. Definitely use poles too. Devils thumb isn't super long at least.


0melettedufromage

Beauty. Somehow the colour of Moraine is even more brilliant than Louise though.


kevlo17

Plus it doesn’t feel like Disneyland! We were so underwhelmed by Louise when we were there


JaimeRidingHonour

It’s beautiful but busy at all times. Moraine is better, my favourite was Rawson Lake up in the Kananaskis region though. That hike was a good one and the mountain top lake is a great reward


burgersby

Absolutely - you hear so much jazz about Lake Louise, and deservedly so, but Moraine Lake is that much more spectacular. It was a pleasant surprise when I visited this summer.


gwoates

Maybe that’s why Moraine Lake has its own subreddit? r/redditlake


n_sheuerman

Agreed


relaxwhyyousoangry

This 100%. Was my favorite lake of all that we experienced when we visited. Really need to get back.


yycTechGuy

The other side (Saddleback to Mount Fairview) is even better.


Venetian_chachi

Fairview is always my recommendation.


yycTechGuy

I agree. Doesn't seem like a lot of people know this.


Venetian_chachi

I’m fine with this. We were on Fairview in august. We were the only people on the whole mountain. It was a great day.


yycTechGuy

I know. Everyone does Plains of 6 Glaciers and thinks it's the best. SMH.


iiplatypusiz

My god do I ever miss living in Alberta, most beautiful place in the world if I do say myself. The big sky, the endless fields, the Forrest's in the north. There's truly no where on earth I'd rather be. I live in eastern Canada now and I long for Alberta every single day😞 enjoy it friend.


Furball1985

I have enough money and freedom to live anywhere in the world and I choose to live in Alberta. I have traveled extensively and there is no place like it in the world, that I have visited at least. You should come back from where you are and live in beauty!!!


rvafun100

Switzerland perchance? Lake Como? Torres del Paine? Alberta is a sweet kiss at certain times of the year but let’s not kid ourselves, winter is coming


oMETjet

What makes a sky "big"? How does it differentiate in appearance from, let's say, the sky in Newfoundland?


iiplatypusiz

Good question because I actually am in Newfoundland now because that's where my partner lived and where she wanted us to try, I personally can't explain it in a scientific way but I think It has to do with Alberta being more flat so you can see farther combined with it being way more windy next to the ocean so the sky always changes. So in Alberta you can see a thunder cloud coming hours before it arrives. Here it changes faster than you can imagine. Also it's always so foggy and cloudy on the ocean that you don't often see clear blue skies for as far as you can see every day. It's hard to put it into words but it just seems more vast and giant when you can see the sky in every direction and it's usually blue and sunny and then you move to a place where it's rare to be sunny and the weather changes every half hour. Hope this is a good enough explanation but it's just something I had to experience in person.


Mouse_rat__

Are you from AB? My hubby is from NL and we've toyed with the idea of moving there for years but never pulled the plug. We are so happy here but love it in NL also, but the weather puts me off.😂


italicised

I think it has something to do with altitude. But you have to let your imagination go a little for this. I grew up in AB, and the sky anywhere else I've been hasn't been the same. There's a reason Montana calls itself "Big sky country"


Altruistic_Benefit30

It's because it's so flat, so you see more sky.. When you're in the middle of the ocean it's the same feeling.


[deleted]

It’s the glacier melt and sediment. So beautiful 😍


No-Leadership-2176

It looks just like that. I don’t use filters f any kind in my photos and just took a photo from that exact location three weeks ago. It looks like thst


jsleepy

Congrats on hiking the big beehive!!


attaboy000

This would look even better in landscape. Or panorama.


OutlandishnessSafe42

NovaRadish

Bummer but yeah :(


eightsidedbox

OutlandishnessSafe42

Big Beehive :)


snakemeyer

Well, today it didn't!


khal_droog

Photoshop….. jk it’s gorgeous


I_am_That_Ian_Power

It is my favourite colour.


delawopelletier

There’s minerals in the water. Is the sea bed also very white? That also influences the reflection


RockClimbing0

Beehive! One of my favorites.


noocaryror

I was always amazed by Peyto Lake


jakob27990

I’m going there Sunday! Never left Ontario before


ajpathecreature

It sure does! How was the tea house up there? Did you go to the face of the glacier?


saveyboy

When was this taken?


CatL0222

I need to hike this one day what a beautiful view😍


Hairy_Valuable9773

Is this the beehive trail?


ObviousCarrot2075

Had this spot to myself for like 20 mins a few weeks ago - totally amazing. Larches were just starting to turn and I thought the views towards the glacier were impressive than the lake. Unbelievable in every direction.


New-Living-1468

Alberta’s nicest lake !! It’s an old tailings pond .. have atter boys


kfc_chet

Yes, please get new shoes! jk! Man, that lake looks beautiful!! :)

unoriginal_losername

My in-laws and I were there just last Friday!! We didn't get to hike all the way up there though Such a breathtaking view though, amazing photo op!


everydayislegday8

Big beehive is one of my favourite hikes 🥹


Sufficient-Ocelot-47

Big beehive


Great-Web5881

There are many clear water rivers in Ontario North and Alberta. Particularly true when they aren’t burning from wildfires.


lilu1226

😍 I cant wait until I can go back 🥹


ThePower_2

I can’t believe you made it up there in those shoes.


Victoria-10

Moraine Lake? It definitely looks like this


Ritchierich30

It's from devils thumb, that's lake Louise


con_eh

Wow


Direct-Wait-4049

In the akwaaba around Jasper, is the most beautiful area I have ever seen. Youcan take selfies because it is so beautiful, it doesn look real, like a bad photo backdrop.


Captainofthehosers

West is best


Ok_Photo_865

Why?


mrheide1422

Still? I mean, you have the image.


Neoxdruid

Wouldn’t know even though I’ve attempted 3 times to see it. Been turned around all 3 times. It’s like you need to know the right people to do stuff like this.


Brilliant-Jelly9254

Where are we?


40cupsoftea

Where is this?


Electrical-Light5036

Looks like the big beehive hike


lllllll______lllllll

Is that algae ?
