Saskatchewan Pass

[Jameel Hyder]

The Icefield Parkway between Banff and Jasper crosses a section named Saskatchewan Pass which in late winter/early spring offers a lot of opportunities. Here is one take on it.

Beautiful winter image.

Nice looking scene - probably best to visit before things start to melt enough to get sloppy as spring progresses.

 

[Rick Nantais]

Beautiful indeed !

Lovely mountains Jameel. Why is one section of snow (?) yellower than the rest?

This is sure cool Jameel! After just seeing Alan’s post with his drone photo, I am wondering what restrictions there might be up there for drones? I think a drone could have tons of fun there.

Thanks Ben

Thanks Alan. You are right, although it starts drying soon and vegetation starts to grow. This was shot just off the highway.

Beautiful indeed !

Thanks Rick

Thanks Tim. That section which is yellow is not snow. It is dirt. Because of the slope, the snow melted and flowed. The snow on the ground is pretty slushy at this time.

Both Banff and Jasper are national parks and as such drones are not allowed. While I am not completely sure, I think the Icefield Parkway doesn't have the restriction. All along the highway there are ample opportunities to shoot. It is one of the most scenic drives.
