This place is worth the side trip if you are in that vicinity.. a bit out of 
the way, but the scenery is incredible, and the falls will always stand out in 
my mind as one of the most spectacular places to visit. I get goosebumps just 
thinking about that place.. I have driven through there often and never fail to 
stop, no matter the day. time, etc.. it is a pilgrimage for me..

Note that it is an easy walk, about 1 km from parking.. so it must be 
photogenic!

If you pack raingear or have a 720-770 SW series Olympus.., you can walk right 
up to the falls.. excellent when it is 30+ degrees outside..

Come to think of it..I havent been back there since I bought my E-500.. oh 
no... I feel a road trip coming on...

Cheers.. Timothy-Keith: Randles

Any suggestions out there for this first trip to the Banff/Jasper  area.  
Will stay a few days at Emerald Lake in Yoho  Park followed by  a few in Banff. 
 
What I'm interested in is where as a photographer would  you suggest I not 
miss.  Hopefully some of those may be places without  10,000 other folks.  All 
photos with Olympus cameras (e-1, OM 2S and chrome  six if there is room).  Any 
suggestions for any good places to eat might be  helpful.  Bill Barber
