Athabasca River

On the way to Banff, getting darker.

 

Thank you to 'tankgirl' for the clarification;

This is along the Icefields Parkway, South of the town of Jasper.

The Athabasca River originates from the Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Icefields.

The mountains seen here are Mt Christie, Brussels Peak and Mt. Fryatt

-------------------------- old note;

The Fraser River is the longest river in British Columbia, Canada, rising near Mount Robson in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,400 km (870 mi), into the Pacific Ocean at the city of Vancouver. The estuary at the river's mouth is a site of hemispheric importance in the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network.
