Trans Canada Highway Viewpoint (Banff National Park)

            With some prior reading (and planning), I was able to use an ebook by Darwin Wiggett's on Banff National Park to identify many points to photograph and views to soak in. This was one that I wasn't quite certain exactly where to find, but with the help of a friend who lives in this area, it was just a matter of finding a spot to park and then a short stroll through the woods. While it wasn't twilight to capture the streak of lights on stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway, did try to at least capture the feel of his image at this location. The highway and drivers and the meandering route through the Bow Valley with mountain peaks of the Fairholme Range all around.
