Spirit Island is one of the iconic views in Jasper National Park. One gets a speedboat to the island (which takes about 30 minutes) and get about 15 minutes there before the 30 minute return trip.Editing

It depends what I'm doing. This photo was taken in 2012 when my only cameras were a Canon 5D3 and a 7D For this trip I took them both - the 5D3 with the 24-70mm L and the 7D with the Canon 100-400 Mk1. I still have the 5D3 but have replaced the 7D with the 7D Mk2 and the 100-400mm with the Mk2 version of that (which is a truly stunning lens) I also now have both a Canon 1DX and a 1DX Mk2 as I do a lot of aircraft photography in the summer and bird photography in the winterFeedback
The Icefields Parkway (from Calgary to Jasper in the Canadian Rockies) is an incredible photographic location, both for landscape photographers with its mountains, blue lakes, and glaciers, and for wildlife, particularly when the brown and grizzly bears are feeding up for their winter hibernation. There is also an abundance of wildfowl, elk and similar.
