Photo: Rocky Mountains Fall Winter Landscape

First snow in late fall turns the Canadian Rocky Mountains landscape into a winter wonderland. At this time of the year in the Rocky Mountains, the time between seasons, is very magical as the colours of fall give way to a coating of snow during winter.

The transition period between fall and winter is just magical especially when the landscape is still carpeted in fall colours when the first snowfall of the winter lightly covers the landscape. The Waterton Lakes National Park situated in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada.

With plenty of small ponds for reflecting the majestic rocky mountains, the Waterton Lake National Park is an area of great beauty and diverse landscape. The fall and winter seasons in particular make the scenery sparkle.
