Description

Photograph of the southwestern Alberta landscape, as viewed from an overlook at either Jasper National Park or Banff National Park. A cliff side stands in the near distance at right. Several pines stand atop the cliff. Along the left edge and at a slightly lower elevation, more pine trees stand. Between the pines at left and the cliff side at right, a river (center) is visible flowing below through a valley. Pines line the river banks as it disappears into the distance. Silhouetted mountains are barely visible rising across the background.
