Camp Tamarack Campground

Grande Prairie, Alberta

Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 8:45 pm Mountain Time

Sun setting, cool and dry;  temperature 57F

Altitude:  657 meters (about 2,157 feet;  we're tired of converting, so to sync our calculations with local maps and signage, we've switched both the GPS and the Explorer's computers to metric)

I thought I'd try one more time to post this picture--and it uploaded in about a minute!  Go figure.

This was taken through the windshield just east of Jasper town as we left this morning a little before 8 am.  The sun was hitting the top of the mountains, but the valley floors were still in the morning shadows. The oncoming car gives a bit of perspective.  It was just one of many "wow!" moments.
