Stand. Turn 360 degrees. Stop at any degree. Take picture. Drive any direction. Take picture. Can't miss location.

Sadly we have records setting amounts of forest fire smoke that will not be eliminated until precipitation and plenty of it occurs. We had a local climate meteorologist speak of the old days when we had a fire season now we have a fire year.
Several of my friends living in British Columbia have come back here to the prairies to get out of the thick smoke.
I would definitely check conditions before going to beautiful B.C.

Hard to say anything about fires after reading “The Big Burn” by Tim Egan. The August 1910 fire swept from Washington state to the West edge of Glacier park in Montana. Nearly 10,000 men assembled to fight the fire. God read.

Vancouver: Stanley Park has nice places to photograph and can be a nice long walk around the park if you like an active visit. Also, a gondola ride up to Grouse mountain for great views and a visit to Capilano Bridge is fun. If you don't want to take the time to see Victoria and Butchart Gardens then Vancouver has several nice gardens to see. Vancouver is a large and beautiful city so be ready for a bustling city life.

Banff and Lake Louise are overrated. Would drive the Icefields Parkway to Jasper. Jasper is a neat town with many nearby sites of nature’s finest. We hiked up to Angel Glacier which was exhilarating. There are many waterfalls and gorgeous lakes… Bow, Peyto, Emerald. The most memorable is Lake Moraine which is surrounded by 10 peaks. At sunrise you need to be atop “the rock pile”to see the sun reflecting off the mt tops lighting up the turquoise water. Walking around the shore in the evening is serene. Unfortunately it’s necessary to stay there overnight to be allowed the best opportunities. Everywhere else there are snow covered mt peaks turn after turn for miles. This is the prettiest scenery I have ever seen. You feel God’s presence every day you’re there.
