Mount Black Prince with Warspite Lake in foreground, Kananaskis Country – snowshoe trek on 6 February 2016. Venturing across the lake would have been too risky due to avalanches.
Absolute majesty.

Yes, indeed!
🙂
What an amazing view.
Definitely my new favourite snowshoeing destination, that’s for sure!
This looks bleak and cold! Fantastic shot!
It looks way colder than it was due to the wind – it was actually chinooking like mad and it was quite balmy. (I almost roasted tackling the hill that leads up to the lake, lol!). With the chinook came that dark, deep cloud so it appears really gloomy.
Glad you kept off the lake, better to be safe than sorry.
Absolutely! The wind was blowing at a pretty good clip up top, too, due to the chinook.
Amazing…stunning…and beautiful….
It’s an awe-inspiring place, that’s for sure….
An impressive view and stunning photo. I do miss snowy scenes in winter. Thanks for supplying it.
You’re so very welcome – I’m happy that you liked it! The view was breathtaking.
A very impressive, fierceful winter image..I am happy you stayed of the lake! xo Joahnna
It definitely would have been too risky to go any farther! I like the fact that there are some really good websites offered by the mountain parks and you can check before you go – I read on several sites about the avalanche danger in that part of the backcountry, so we knew not to venture out past a certain point.
OMC..how beautiful This looks like a painting someone did. Marvelous. Thank you.

It would be a fantastic scene for a painting…it’s so dramatic! I’m glad you liked it.
Hope you’re having a wonderful week!
I’m enjoying the snow photos!
I’m so glad that you are! Not sure how many more there will be…it is seriously warm here now. Some of the early spring flowers are emerging, about four to six weeks ahead of schedule….
Dangerous, but such a gorgeous bit of the world.
Definitely have to watch where one travels in the backcountry, that’s for sure! But an amazing destination.
Sheryl, I know that envy is not an admirable quality, but none the less, I am envious. What an incredible place, AND you were snowshoeing!.
We finally found some decent snow! 🙂 It’s been so warm here this winter, the snow conditions have not been ideal, to say the least. I was really moved by the scenery in this place – when we came into full view of the mountain, I was just completely awed. I want to head up there again in the spring (but I heard from a hiker friend after I told her I went on this trip that there are several grizzly bears that reside in this area in spring and summer so I’m a bit leery about that).
well, if you decided to hike there this spring or summer, be sure to share a photo or two. Perhaps of a friendly grizzly 🙂
