Athabasca River

The Athabasca River flows through the peaceful Athabasca Valley towards Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park. This glacial river starts high above in the Canadian Rockies.
The rugged. snow covered peaks of the Rocky Mountains stand tall in background. The sky is overcast. There is enough light getting through the clouds to cast just a little bit of color from the coming sunset.

Athabasca River This is an image of the Athabasca River flowing down from it's source, the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. The river is running gray as it's early in the spring and the river has stirred up rock flour. There is an island in the middle of the river in the foreground. The island is covered in river rock accept where a couple of handful of pine trees of found a place to take root. The majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains frame the river on the right side of the image as well as the background. The mountains are tall, rough, rugged and snowcapped. The sky is just starting to get some color as the sun is low in the sky.

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1847:
"Fine pleasant weather. Started from #Jasper's House at 10 o'clock, and as the current was strong, we got down a good distance. #AthabascaRiver
"Monday. Cold, disagreeable day. Snowing the whole time. Made a good day's work.
"Tuesday. Fine weather. Arrived at Fort Assiniboine at 4 pm and had the boat hauled up. Encamped at a short distance from the Fort where the Horses are to be brought tomorrow morning. #ABHistory #AmWritingHistory #HistoricJourney #Books

Typical post and sill building of the fur trade, whitewashed and shingle roofed. This is the old storehouse at replica Fort Langley.

Rainbows Over the Athabasca River - Jasper National Park

It was on this walk that I believe the most inspired photography at the day occurred. It was partly because of the incredibly gorgeous scene and secondarily it was because of the great light.

Rainbows Over the Athabasca River - Jasper National Park It was on this walk that I believe the most inspired photography at the day occurred. It was partly because of the incredibly gorgeous scene and secondarily it was because of the great light. Jasper National Park is filled with incredibly gorgeous views around every corner. As it was time to find dinner we were driving into the town of Jasper. We were greeted with a complete double rainbow right on top of the Athabasca River right in front of a range of mountains.

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1831:
"We set off in the canoes, two gentlemen and nine men in each, and during our voyage, which continued thirteen days, we encountered many hardships and delays. The #AthabascaRiver , so shallow and full of sandbanks, or as the Canadians call them, Battures, as to break our frail bark canoes five or six times a day, and force us ashore to kindle fires and repair them.
"23rd. Today we came in sight of the Rocky Mountains, and... #Canada #History #Journey #Books

The Athabasca River, with its heavily treed river banks, rapids, and shallow battures or gravel bars, leads the HBC men west to the Rocky Mountains.

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1827:
"At breakfast time two of our canoes required gumming. We afterwards ascended a chain of rapids to the head of Rapids des Mors where, as our canoes require gumming again, we encamped at 5 pm. At 8 of these rapids, which are very strong, three of the canoes were handed up -- only one has been able to ascend under the poles which is owing to the dexterity of the Boute. Lafrance and Jollibois are on the recovery.

The Columbia Icefield drains to the Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. Meltwater flows 2,500 miles via the Athabasca River and Mackenzie River  into the Arctic Ocean, via the Saskatchewan River 1,600 miles to Hudson Bay and the Atlantic, and 1,240 miles via the Fraser and Columbia rivers to the Pacific Ocean.
