Hey Brad, are you sure that the Athabasca Falls are now at San Francisco...?! ;-) The spot exists already if you search for it and since this is more of a behind the scenes photo, you could add this also as such a type of photo to the spot, so that others can see how it looks like where the photo was taken.

Thanks Manuel. I fixed it now. Was having a problem with the system yesterday. It didn’t show that there was already a spot for that. I will add this pic to it when I get a chance.

No worries, thank you for fixing the geo details! Must have been a really cold, but awesome experience to get down there. I really enjoyed the waterfall in the later summer and it was really loud and strong at the fall itself. This one was taken a little bit to the south?

It's strange because even when I do a search for Athabasca falls my picture is the only one that comes up even though I can see it in Nearby photo spots on the bottom.

They were not tagged correctly. I fixed that, so they and your spot can be found now for this location: www.locationscout.net/locations/11233-athabasca-falls This photo could be taken a little bit to the south or at the waterfall itself during winter? (because I was there a few months ago and I didn't know that you could walk south - sorry for asking again, just want to make sure that others can find this spot and that the geo details are correct, so that nobody has to run around over there ;-))
