The “Secret Beach” wasn’t feeling very secret—unless you count the secret of how to squeeze your car into a non-existent parking spot. Determined, I staked my claim hours early and sweet-talked a fellow beachgoer into standing atop the perfect rock for my shot.
Sulphur mountain is based in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies and overlooks the small town of Banff in Alberta. Sulphur Mountain Trail is an alpine switchback pathway which leads to the summit ridge of Sulphur Mountain. It will take the whole day to climb the mountain and back. So making the most of the Banff Gondola Experience, the cable cars have a glass panel in the bottom. They gain elevation quickly and can rock when the wind is blowing. It took about 10 minutes to lift from the bottom to the summit. Climbing an extra kilometer along the Parks Canada Vista Trail, known as the Banff Skywalk to get the most impressive and revealing views of the mountains and valleys. The epic views are truly endless from the rooftop deck or with a stroll along the mountain boardwalk.
So windy on the summit ridge of Sulphur Mountain, the scenery was breathtaking. Planned to stay couple of hours there, chatted with staff, they said the sunset would be very beautiful. But the tripod was in the car, so asked the staff if I could get tripod for taking sunset photos, that means I need to take cable cars to go down and go up again. They were so kind to offer “Yes”! Here is the sunset to overlook town of Banff.

De herdershond op de voorgrond zit op een verhoogd punt bij de beroemde Gergeti Trinity Church, een 14e-eeuws klooster dat op een hoogte van ongeveer 2.170 meter ligt. Vanuit dit uitkijkpunt strekt zich een adembenemend panorama uit over Stepantsminda, een klein stadje in de Georgische Kaukasus en een belangrijke toegangspoort voor avonturiers die de bergen willen verkennen. Stepantsminda vormt het startpunt voor vele bergbeklimmingen, waaronder de uitdagende tocht naar de top van de Kazbek, een van de hoogste bergen van Georgië. Met zijn 5.033 meter is Kazbek een populaire bestemming voor zowel ervaren klimmers als natuurliefhebbers. Op de achtergrond rijst een indrukwekkende bergketen op, waaronder Mount Kuro, die tot 3.980 meter hoog reikt en een dramatische, ruige omlijsting biedt voor dit heilige bouwwerk. De besneeuwde pieken en steile rotsen onderstrepen de eenzaamheid en grootsheid van deze plek. De hond, een trouwe metgezel van de kloosterpriesters, lijkt hier als een wachter over de stad en de vallei uit te kijken. Met de warme herfsttinten in het dal, de robuuste rotsformaties en de met sneeuw bedekte bergtoppen straalt de omgeving zowel sereniteit als majestueuze kracht uit. Hier, waar geschiedenis en natuur harmonieus samensmelten, waakt de hond zwijgend over het eeuwenoude klooster en de uitgestrekte hooglanden.
