| Athabasca Falls |
It's hard keeping track of all the natural wonders in the Banff area. Luckily, Albertans came up with a friendly solution. Take "Athabasca." This is a a word that comes from the native Cree language and means "place where the reeds grow." It was initially just the name of a river. But now there is an Athabasca mountain, lake, glacier, and assorted roads. Oh, and one last natural wonder: the Athabasca Falls (pictured above). It's hard to be heard over the roar of these falls, which you can view from many angles. We saw several rainbows as we were gently pelted by the fast moving spray of glacial water.
