Opabin Plateau, Yoho National Park

The Opabin Plateau is located in the Lake O'Hara area of Yoho National Park. It is a favourite destination of mine regardless of season. However, autumn sees the larch trees turn a spectacular yellow-orange colour particularly when lit by the afternoon sun. Snow is a possibility anytime during the Rocky Mountain summer but autumn often brings the first significant snowfalls. This image was taken 2 days after a 7.5 cm (3 inch) snowfall.
