Pristine & spectacular

The mountain sites continue to be stunning and spectacular.

I have been on lakes before. I have taken boat rides and pontoon rides before.

I have seen isthmuses before.

But I have never done that combination in Canada's highest places. Besides the tranquility it provides, and the awe, it touches the soul. Pristine is a word that I use very little - probably because I live in an area that is not considered pristine.

But here the air is fresh, the aroma is scented of pines, and the horizon doesn't exist because of the imposing Rocky Mountain towers of granite or snow-covered, glacier-bearing peaks. It's spectacular!
