Yet another spectacular view from the summit of Sulphur Mountain near Banff. That's the sky gondola at right.

"The adventure begins with an eight minute journey to the summit of Sulphur Mountain in a modern, fully-enclosed four passenger gondola cabin. The views become increasingly spectacular as you climb 698m (2,292 ft) to an elevation of 2,281m (7,486 ft) at the Summit Upper Terminal – the departure point for a mountaintop of activities.

When you arrive at the upper terminal, you will have the choice of exiting the building to witness the breathtaking views in every direction or going up into the restaurant area where you can sit in comfort and still see the view. Above the restaurant levels is the upper observation deck for the best view yet. The Summit Complex and the main observation deck are handicapped accessible. The Banff Skywalk is an easy 1km self-guided interpretive walkway along the summit ridge that leads to the Cosmic Ray Station National Historic Site of Canada, and the historic Sanson’s Peak Meteorological Station. This is definitely one of the more interesting things to do in Banff National Park. The historical stories of the area and early explorers are as impressive as the spectacular views! More adventurous hikers will want to try the South East Ridge Trail – a favourite among the locals. To see the view from the top today, check the Banff Webcam."

Hi Chris,
Wow, this is a terrific POV, the house at the right part of the image, the snowy peaks in the distance and the green pine trees create an original mountainous composition with much freshness. Excellent brightness and clarity, really impressive capture, Chris! TFS!

Hi Chris,

you said it all...*yet another spectacular view*. You are right, it is truly a spectacular view. Beautifully composed image with the snowy mountains in the BG and green pine trees in the FG, excellent colours and great sharpness.

Like Kristof already pointed out - you can feel the freshness of the nature through your image.

Hi Chris,

This is a spectacular view. You've managed the light very well, it can't be easy with the contrast between snow and green valley. Beautiful POV along the valley.

Regards,
Werner

Good depth you achieved here Chris. What a lovely view. Sharp details on the snow-covered mountains from a distance. Hmmm I can almost smell fresh air. Wel done and greetings!

Ciao Chris


This is rather a vision super privileged!
the vision of this place is wonderful, the chain of
mountains to the bottom with light snow in your top
shapes the horizon of blue and beautiful.
Beautiful view, sharp and well composed!

Spectacular viewpoint with great colours and details. It is a shame that the tall fir tree partially obscures the view of the valley floor. Wonderful snow capped ridge line in bg TFS
warm regards
