Canada Spirit Island, Jasper National Park
You have to go here by boat, I took the one that cost three times as much especially for photographers. If you kayak and camp that would be a better option as the last boat leaves before the calm of evening and sunset.
Photography Tips
Take the sunset photographers' tour as you have an hour to shoot instead of ten minutes. When I have a slight wind ripple on the water I'm trying to get a reflection of, I take ISO down to 50 and the smallest aperture and use as much neutral density as needed to smooth out the water. The Photo tours are only a couple of days per week, check with Bruster Travel for details and reservations.
Travel Information
Fly into Calgary and take your time getting to Jasper driving through Banff National Park and the Icefields Parkway. One of the prettiest places in the world. After getting to the town of Jasper, find your way to Maligne Lake Marina where you can arrange for a boat.
