About The Canadian Rockies
The Rockies run along the border of Alberta and British Columbia, and the parks there sit side by side like neighbors sharing a fence. The lakes get their color from fine rock flour ground off the mountains by glaciers, which is why the water looks milky blue-green rather than clear. Early morning on a lakeshore is cold and quiet, with a canoe pulled up on the gravel and elk grazing somewhere behind the trees.
