Mount Edith Cavell was named to honor a WWI nurse who was
martyred for her care of all soldiers despite their nationality. The switchback road had wonderful views
around each turn, mountains, evergreens and blue sky. The peak rises high above hanging glaciers
and alpine meadows. Angel glacier
spreads its “wings” over the valley.
Alberta is the ‘Wild Rose” Province and even at this altitude the roses
were abundant and beautiful.
Our next stop was Athabasca Falls for a picnic lunch. There are extensive walkways at the falls
that give an ever closer view of the limestone canyon and rushing water. The spray was cool on a warm afternoon.
