A SPECTACULAR YEAR-END PHOTOGRAPHIC CELEBRATION OF “CANADA 150”, all photography by @eric-boucher. (Final Part 3/3)
(Part 3/3) (Links to part 1 & 2)
2017 is drawing to an end and the world’s eyes either contemplated going or went and experienced first hand Parks Canada gift to the citizens of all denomination in commemoration of Canada’s 150th year since the signature of our Confederation. In return, I think it is time for me to offer you all a photographic celebration of my own. It my deepest and most sincere hope to inspire you all in spending quality time in the heart of the Canadian Rockie Mountains, if not, at least, in the natural wonders near you, to replenish your body and soul. Presented to you here, from south to north, I invite you to journey along with me from Waterton National Park, to Banff, Yoho and Jasper National Park. Furthermore and as a way of underlining the important unbroken system that is being erected as we speak, I will also take the liberty of giving you a glimpse of one of British Columbia’s jewel, a provincial park adjacent to the latter and bring you all the way through Mount Robson Provincial Park, where stands the Monarch of our “Rockies”.
Back in the magnificent summer of 2016, some of you might recall my trip in the Canadian Rockies, as I arrived at the gate readying myself to buy an Annual Pass, the lady at the till, in her Park Canada fashionably recognizable little daily abode, told me that I was getting two years for the price of one! Shaking my head a bit, she knew she had to explain herself a bit more thoroughly and proceeded to let me know that the following year, 2017, would be a special free admittance into all of Parks Canada national park system. Gladly spending nearly CDN$80.00 for it, I moved on, knowing perfectly well that I’d be spending a solid chunk of that summer and the following one here among the majestic mountains, unparalleled wildlife, fresh air, pristine waters and the sounds of natures wonders.
Jasper National Park
Who hasn’t heard of Jasper National Park?!? The name alone brings visions of tall peaks, grizzlies, mountains goat wapitis and emerald rivers. Here’s a few of my favourite views, on locations easily accessible by everyone! Who could tell?!?
Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia.
The very first time I heard of this park was through my friends who were dreaming of climbing its face, way back in the days… It has been called with names such as “The Eiger of North America” and “The Emperor” and “Cloud Cap Mountain”. For its original inhabitants of the area, Mount Robson was know by the trajectory by which one was to climb it “the Mountain of the Spiral Road”, Yuh-hai-has-kun.
Here are a few of my favourite views along this spiral road up its flanks, past Berg Lake found at the base of its north face and all the way up across the valley… Enjoy this 34 kilometre hike!
On these last sunset photos, I retire from this "SPECTACULAR YEAR-END PHOTOGRAPHIC CELEBRATION OF “CANADA 150”! I sincerely hope will be inspired to go visit these majestic locations filled of a spirit rarely encountered anywhere else in the world. One of Canada's pride is found among these peaks, rivers, lakes, flora and fauna where the dreams of a natural state is still accessible, by all for all of us to enjoy and for the generation to come to share in this opportunity we all have to fulfill our destiny to preserve for the ones to come we borrow from today. May this feasting of the eyes and soul nourish us all and give us the strength it is endowed with to carry the tradition of values hard won and kept for all generations.

Magnificent article. Although I already read a lot of text in the first and second parts, the photo does not allow me to tear my eyes from them until the end of the viewing. After all the parts of this article, I really want to visit these parks of Canada. Who knows, maybe in a dozen years I will also photograph these beautiful mountains. Good luck to you and good.
Much blessing to you and your loved ones in this time of holidays! Thanks a lot for this warm hearted message, once more, and I wish for you to be able to come over and enjoy these mountains as sooon as life permits you to do so.
