Took at Overlander Falls on the Fraser River in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlander_Falls
Overlander Falls is a waterfall on the Fraser River in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. It is popular for kayakers. The falls are reached by a short walking trail which starts on the Yellowhead Highway 2 km (1.2 mi) east of the Mount Robson visitor centre. [2][3] The waterfall is named for the Overlanders expedition of 1862.
We weren't sure what we were going to get at Overlander Falls as we just blindly followed signs promising a waterfall (and got lucky enough to find another sign shortly after pointing out a closer parking lot before we embarked a 3-hour roundtrip walk). 15 minutes and a short descent later, we found a waterfall surrounded by winter wonderland and lit with the constant golden light that this time of year brings. It was perfection.

Nothing beats immersing yourself in nature and just hearing a river flow.

I'm going to be away for a few day's (My birthday is the 11th) so I'm going to leave you all with a view from Overlander fall on the Fraser River in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada
Mount Robson Provincial Park, an hours drive from Jasper, is a gem in the wilderness that just begs for the nature lover & photographer to visit. Majestic Mountains, scenic rivers & lakes & quiet places just a bit different to what you find on the Alberta side of the Great Divide.
This was taken near the base of Overlander Falls. These falls are in Mt. Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. There is a short but beautiful trail that leads here from Yellowhead Highway.

Hiked in to Overlander Falls on March 1. The falls were mostly frozen, with a window of flowing water visible. The heavy snow pack draped rocks, ice, shore and trees. The plunge pool was unfrozen and the dark crystalline water was visible where it flowed fast below the falls.

Walked in to Overlander Falls on March 1 on the packed snowshoe trail to the overlook. The Falls were lovely, mostly frozen over, mantled in beautiful aqua ice columns, dusted with snow, but a window of sheeting water peeping through, and the plunge pool unfrozen.
Snow blanketing the rocks just below Rearguard Falls on the Upper Fraser. The drape and rounded mantling of the snow, and the way light and shadow reveal form caught my eye.
The snow was mantling the rocks in thick rounded hummocks. The water flowed where the current is fast, and was so clear you could see rocks on the bottom. Walked in to Overlander Falls on someone's packed snowshoe trail. This view is downstream from the overlook for the falls.

looking downstream from Overlander Falls on the Upper Fraser River in Mt. Robson park. The sky was lowering, the water dark, fresh snow on the slopes.
Looking downstream from Overlander Falls, only two days after my last visit....but after fresh snow, with colder temperatures and cloud dissolving into light
The falls raised a spume of mist. The day was dark and moody, the dark rocks glistening, and the water also dark and shining like moving obsidian.
Located in Mt. Robson Provincial Park. Drive about 14 kilometers east of the junction of Highways 5 and 16 at Tete Jaune Cache, along the Yellowhead Highway (towards Jasper) to the signed parking lot for Overlander Falls. An easy 1/2 kilometer trail descends down to the Fraser River and the viewpoint.

A closeup of water-worn rocks and dark water below the falls. The water was incredibly clear, but dark like obsidian mirroring the heavy November sky.
The geometry of the rocks is interestingly highlighted by a skiff of fresh snow and some hoar frost. Brighter light than on Thursday. The sculpting of rock by running water fascinates me. (Upper Fraser, Mt. Robson Park, just downstream of Overlander Falls)
Loved the vivid colors of the rocks and river. Nature was kind enough to provide me with some bitty-bits around the bottom for affect.
The mood of the falls is totally different as the rocks are frosted with fresh snow, but not wet as the temperatures were definitely below freezing.
