This is a great shot Daryl! Perhaps you could help us with the location as I doubt it is in San Francisco Bay with a view of Alcatraz as is on this page. With thanks.

Hi Dan, I selected the spot on your locator, evidently it didn't work though - will try to fix

Awesome Daryl, thanks. Hopefully, I can find the site when I visit this fall.

Scout for the access ahead of time midday if you can, then return when the water is calm. It is very close to Peyto Lake which photographs will in midday so you have a reason to scout, then returning in evening or morning to shoot - good luck. Oh, I also like to base out of Lake Louise instead of Banff. You can access Banff to the south and the better stuff from up north, as well as Yoho to the west.
