This is the less travelled road - Hwy 93. Along the way is Invermere and Radium, known for its hot springs.
Looking north, south and straight up.
It appears that the river runs under the road to emerge from the southern edge and plunge down a canyon.
Emerging from the canyon, the next amazing land feature is the 'Paint Pots'. Historically the native peoples from miles around used the iron oxide pigments from this cliff.

Among the charred stumps fireweed arises and blooms with great abandonment. Fireweed is the first plant to regrow after a fire.
The water has carved through the rock to form a canyon and left a landbridge.
On one side of the creek, the burnt wood faces young trees that escaped the fires.
The storm clears and Canmore is just around the mountain!
