Sprawling across the jagged southern border between Alberta and British Columbia, the Canadian Rockies are a marvel of natural beauty. Visitors will never lack for marvels to ponder, with jagged peaks, massive glaciers, raging rivers, crystalline blue-green lakes, and plenty of flora and fauna all competing for their viewing attention.

Come with me on a virtual trip through the Canadian Rockies in this, the first "super-set" on DesktopScenes.com, containing over 300 photographs arranged in ten individual scenesets. These photos were taken during a three-week trip in early July 2004, which focused on the four main national parks in the Canadian Rockies -- Banff, Yoho, Jasper and Kootenay -- along with short visits to neighboring parks including Waterton Lakes and Mount Robson.
