The Lady Isabelle permits herself to be used for scale in the original Miette Hot Springs ruins. These are a crumbling concrete edifice; the pool has been filled with soil and planted, to keep tourists and their stupid children from falling in and winning the Liability Lottery.

A Miette Hot Spring. Hot water is flowing from that dark hole at top center. The sulphur in the water has coated the rocks; it looks whitish green under the flowing water. It's been corralled by concrete and is piped away.

This is one of the lovely big rocks south of Highway 16 NE of Jasper before the road to Miette Hot Springs. It is probably Roche Miette, but I have forgotten exactly; there is also Cinquefoil Mountain earlier. I apologize for the inexactitude. So many beautiful mountains, so few slots in memory.

Ashlar Ridge is a beautiful long mountain that guards the north flank of the highway to Miette Hot Springs. Hidden below is the Fiddle River.

The sedimentary rocks of these mountains are found in all sorts of shapes and angles. Just past Ashlar Ridge and it's ruler-straight lines is this anonymous mountain (anonymous to me and my map) with richly curved forms limned by the low evening sun.
