The Blakiston Valley in Southern Alberta, Canada is located in Waterton Lakes National Park and during the summer months the greenery flourishes across the landscape. The Blakiston Creek creates a pathway breaking up the landscape and the Canadian Rocky Mountains run the length of the valley.Atop the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the warm sun has melted a majority of the snow but the peaks still blanketed, sparkle in the sunlight. During the spring and summer months, the Blakiston Valley in Southern Alberta, takes on a whole new aroma as flowers and trees thrive and emit a spectacular natural aroma.This area is also known as "Where the Mountains Meet the Prairies" and here in the Blakiston
Valley, you can see that there is no gradual slope up the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
