Painting Indian Paintbrush at Balsam Lake, Mount Revelstoke, British Columbia

Off the Trans-Canada Highway in the Canadian Rockies, 

there's a 25 kilometre winding road called Meadows in the Sky Parkway

that takes you through forests of cedar, fir, hemlock, spruce 

and beautiful subalpine wild flowers!

Near the summit of Mount Revelstoke, is Balsam Lake.

This place is filled with breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies.

These flowers are Castilleja, also known as Prairie-fire or Indian Paintbrush
