Takakkaw Falls – Canadian Rockies Photo Tour
Pam Goodyer’s Writing – Takakkaw Falls Canadian Rockies
We ventured on the winding path through the untouched wilderness. I could sense the earth’s powerful energy as we traveled and heard its voracious roar. Then, with a breath of awe, we rounded the bend and beheld an unparalleled sight: Mother Nature’s untamed beauty cascading down the mountain’s rocky face. Millions of gallons of water raced freely. A misty aura illuminates our hearts with reverence for the divine magnificence. The whites of the waters display Gaia’s mighty force and elegance, enveloping our senses in a trance of admiration and amazement.
Our assembly ceases and stays mute, tension crackling in the air. A moment later, we inhale in unison, a stimulating chill passing through us as we bind to the might of Gaia, connected by our mutual goal. We are here to document the splendor of this magnificent life, called Takakkaw Falls in Yoho National Park in the Canadian Rockies. At this moment, a strength descends upon our group and unites us together—we look up, astonished at the grandeur surrounding us. Understanding something larger than ourselves emboldens us.
So we approach the delicacy before us differently and behold her grace uniquely. On a mission to capture her to perfection, some braving into icy streams and enchanted pathways, setting up tripods in the steam. All stand in respect, enthralled by her brilliance. Thousands of droplets descend from high mountain heavens like individual stars from the night sky, dowsing our lenses with innocence. It drew everyone closer, mesmerized by her glory.
Then, the tour will separate and photograph the waterfall. I understood the power deep within me as I descended into a mesmeric trance, the waves of energy washing over me. Then, I opened to the outer realms; the Universe gifted me with secrets beyond my understanding and granted me access to powers of creativity and brilliance. My whispers of guidance echoed through the group like sweet lullabies, soothing the artists’ worries and fears. As a result, together, we crafted elegant and connected images to our souls, pulling energy from divine beings and awe-inspiring forces. This connection was profound – taking us beyond mere words and giving us the experience to live on in our emotions, memories, and the photographs we created on our photo tour of a lifetime.
About the Canadian Rockies
At the epicenter of the Canadian Rockies lies a great location named Banff National Park. This will be the central point area of our Canadian Rockies Photo Tour. It became Canada’s first national park and third in the world when the government declared a 10-square-mile protected land in 1885. Although this place is widely known for its beauty and breathtaking landscapes, here are twelve extraordinary facts that may surprise you:
Every year, a grand procession of wildlife surges through the Bow Valley or the busy Trans Canada Highway that cuts through Banff National Park. The park’s bespoke passages carved out of naturally growing soil and rocks are like no others and offer safe passage for all creatures—large and small.
Between Banff and Jasper National Parks, the Columbia Icefield is the source of North America’s longest-flowing river, rising and eventually melting into three mighty oceans. We will travel to the glacier’s edge to taste some of Earth’s freshest water.
Bears and other wild animals
Two types of bears roam the Rockies – black bear and grizzly – and you don’t want to meet either. They’re not uncommon, and risks are low on heavily tramped trails. However, if you’re camping or walking, it’s still essential to be vigilant, obey basic rules, know the difference between a black bear and a grizzly (the latter are bigger and have a humped neck) and know how to avoid dangerous encounters and understand what to do if confronted or attacked. Cardinal rules include storing food and rubbish properly, ensuring bears know you’re there, not approaching or feeding them, and, if you meet one, not screaming or running away.
Other wild animals can also be dangerous, and while you would be unlucky to encounter cougars, which are relatively rare, the chances of meeting elk are much higher. Generally, these are benign creatures, often seen grazing at roadsides, but can become aggressive if approached or if they are with young; don’t clamber out of your car, or cross the highway, to poke a camera in their faces.
We will go over the safety basics on the photo tour.
