"Everyone needs beauty . . . "
Often quoted and for good reason, John Muir the renowned naturalist, aptly stated, "Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.”
On one of my early morning jaunts looking for wildlife but only coming across squirrels on uppers, I came across this beautiful vista of Pyramid Lake reflecting the partially cloud covered Pyramid Mountain.
I have seen this lake dozens of times but the view provides you something different every time. You stare at the scene and become lost in the moment, until the drug crazed squirrel returns.
Pyramid Lake is about 6.9 km or 12 minutes from the town of Jasper, Alberta and lies at the foot of Pyramid Mountain, a natural landmark that overlooks the town. The lake winds through Pyramid Creek for approximately 2 km before it discharges into the Athabasca River, the major watercourse in Jasper National Park.
