Cave and Basin NHS

A beautiful morning at the Cave and Basin NHS, a national history site for being the birthplace for Canada's national park system. I was out early hoping to get pictures of the sunrise, at first it looked as if the sun was not going to push through the clouds. All that quickly changed and along with some rain came a rainbow.

Sunlight and Steam

The other day the cold temperature was helping create steam of the running hot water at the Cave and Basin NHS. On February the 1st, the sunlight was no longer being blocked by the Sulphur Mtn, as the sun is getting higher up in the sky. I was going by when I looked back and saw the ray of sunlight streaking through the rising steam. Had to grab few pictures.

Hoar Frost

Hot Springs, even on the coldest days the water runs, producing amazing hoar frost. Longer the cold lasts more amazing it looks, layer upon layer of frost. Earth is full of wonders and this is one of them.

Upper Boardwalk

As the snow and the cold hits the valley. Its always fun and interesting to walk along the hot springs  on the side of Sulphur Mountain. Feeling the warm heat coming from the flowing water next to the boardwalks.  Forces of warmth from the springs creating a special environment, all surrounded by the winter.

 Winter that's only steps away, covering all directions from the hot springs, as well on Cascade Mtn across the Bow Valley. All connected by the unique geology that created the Canadian Rockies, setting up the stage for the natural hot springs.

 I was able to take the attached picture from the upper boardwalk at the Cave and Basin, before the cold took the upper hand. Then it was time to step inside to take in warm water, flavored with chocolate of course, some call it hot chocolate.

Until next moment,
