Two Jack Lake and Lake Minnewanka
Directions
Take Highway 1 from Calgary and turn right at the first Banff exit. From here follow the signs for Two Jack Lake.
Background
I passed by Lake Minnewanka on my way to Two Jack Lake and took a few shots while it was still dark. The cold temperatures caused an icy fog/mist to rise off the still unfrozen lake.
Once I arrived at Two Jack Lake, I began to make my way around the icy shore trail.
After the sun had risen, I made my way back to Minnewanka to take a few more photos.
After trying to leave, my path was blocked by a rather smug Bighorn Sheep.
I want to always be where your pictures are.
These are simply spectacular. You have an eye for incredible beauty and the skill to capture it.
Awesome smugness:)
I love the half submerged tree.
And the house… is it floating!? very strange… but good for photos
Wow, I am always so impressed by your photography! Beautiful.
Beautiful photos.
Quite surreal pictures of the lake, but the mountains fascinate me.
Jim
Beautiful as always patrick
Spectuacular!
The face on that bighorn
The Big Horn is smirking at you.
Gorgeous pictures great close up of the Bighorn Sheep!
Incredibly beautiful!
_LC79538 ah! wonderful

The pictures are beautifully stunning, as always…. and that sheep’s expression is priceless…
Gorgeous photos! Stunning picture of the bighorn sheep, looks like he is grinning-definitely smug!
All I can say is Wow! Love the misty shots, in particular.
Wow!! So amazing! Beautiful!
Awesome
Stunning images!
Amazing shots Patrick! I remember getting my scuba license at Minnewanka… brrrr!
Great photos and then a Rocky Mountain Sheep with a wry smile. Good day.
Majestic.
Wow, Patrick–the hits just keep coming! Once again, a beautiful group of pictures.
As always, beautiful pictures!
Stunningly gorgeous…
Incredible and fills my heart with awe! Thank you for sharing such a majestic and yet peaceful place:)
Stunning. That bighorn looks like he has an attitude.
Wow… Amazing!!
Wonder what the sheep is thinking with that smirk on his face.
Awesome photographs!
Gorgeous pictures again! Just so amazing!
You are truly talented Patrick, These are beautiful. I am honored for you to have ever clicked a button of mine. I look forward to seeing your work almost everyday. Thanks for sharing your abilities.
Oh my….breathtaking!
Wonderful travellogue! Love the smirk on the bighorn’s face!!
Beautiful pics as always. *smiling*
I love the sheep
It’s almost like he’s saying “Get past me? Nope, not a chance” Awesome photos!
i like the barges and i hope you used a zoom lens when you did the ram shot or that you are ok if you didn’t use a zoom lens
The first is my favorite, I just love the color in it.
Can’t even imagine being in such a landscape!!
Love the little curl of the sheep’s lip..
The first pic is simply awesome. Well done!
Those are otherworldly!
Caption for the sheep “You wanna leave? Yeah right! I dare ya!”
LOL
Great shots. My fave is the icy cold first one with the “cabins” on the lake. Although the one just before the sheep is also excellent. I also like the tree bathing in the lake image. Nice work.
“These photos are especially spectacular Patrick. I hope you are entering them in some contests!
These photos are absolutely gorgeous! They’ll be great writing inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Breathtakingly beautiful shots!!
Beautiful and secluded! Looks like my favorite kind of place!
the boathouse? looks very surreal there. Beautiful.
Beautiful photos! Love the bighorn sheep–he’s really checking you out.
No words for these clicks! My the places you’ve been. Sigh. Margie
Breathtaking!
YOU’RE AMAZING!
I usually hold words in high regards, but when I was looking at your pictures here I was barely skimming your captions I was so enticed at looking at the images. So when i saw this caption
“After trying to leave my path was blocked by a rather smug Bighorn Sheep.”
i actually read ” rather SMALL bighorn Sheep” . SO when i saw the picture I was like OH that’s not small! Lol silly me.
these are so surreally beautiful. thanks for the sharing. the expression on the sheep is like he is grinning .
yeah ~ rather smugly – if ya know sheep
AMAZING pictures! We’ve been there 2010, but during summer.
I love your pictures… these are great. Especially the sheep
These are beautiful! You should submit these photos to Cabin Porn (http://freecabinporn.com), a site I often swoon over, along with yours.
Maybe it’s Halloween, but the first few photos had a eerie quality for me. Then the bighorn smirked and said, “Lighten up, Chicken.”
Beautiful photos – love them all!
Ever ever ever Beautiful. What else can i say . . .The pic. of the house on the water reminds me of an old black and white movie that i once saw. The fallen tree is Lovely as well.
I absolutely love your photos. What lenses do you carry with you to capture the scenic landscapes as well as the close-up of adorable Mr. Smug?
) Would love to know some of your technical specifications and corresponding time of day.
gorgeous!
These are positively idyllic. The way they capture the serenity and calm is stunning. Thank you so much.
Beautiful images.

I agree with latebloomerbuds…no words to describe the incredible beauty you’ve captured in each pic…takes my breath away.
The ram has a smirk!!!?? Amazing footage.
those shots are absolutely stunning
Masterful. Your signature is very present.
Very nice.
Just spectacular!

Amazing– what an incredible life you lead! D
Beautiful images!
Wow you are talented!
you photos make the hike so gorgeous! the snow is peaceful yet scary. masterpieces, as always!
Breathtaking hoar and shades of whiteness. The ram is one cool dude! It is an honour to be watching such exquisite images.
That ram is amazing! I love it!
Very nice photos. I think the third from the bottom is my favorite.
Beautiful. Whats with Canadians and counting? 2 Jack lake – I played golf near there that overlooked 3 sisters peaks. Just kidding.
There’s a hush over everything with these photos. Silence is inspired.
IMPRESSIVE!
So beautiful. I can’t even imagine it. Love seeing photo’s of all these far away incredible places.
The Rocky Mountain sheep shot was as if you asked for a seasoned pose and with a wry smile, he complied. “Crazy photographers,” says his face.
These are awesome pictures. Love them. I really enjoyed the little cabin and the mountains in the backdrop. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT pictures!
Wow!
Breathtaking photos. It sure looks chilly!
I’m cold just looking at these pictures; they are so clear and beautiful.You really captured the Big Horned Sheep;it is just like having one face you.
I have a Canadian trip planned for 2014 but the more photography of yours I see the more I think I need to swap some itineraries around,lol. Lovely shots Patrick!
Fantastic photographs as always. That sheep is hilarious!
Hi Patrick,
Its beautiful country. Your sheep look a bit different from ours.
fantastic!
He looks more sheepish than smug, actually.
Ok, yeah, I know…
Beautiful pictures. Love the snag in the water, and the shot with the clouds especially. Very lovely.
Pearl
Wonderful photos, Patrick, as always. Thank you. Blessings from Lizzie Joy
It has been said many times before but it bears repeating: truly spectacular pics!
Stunning! Breathtaking!
Wow… Just, wow.
Holy, I think that snowy cottage on the open water is surreal. Your Big Horn sheep has a smirk on his face, cheeky hey?
Stunning work!
i’m seriously running out of marvelous and unique praises to give you, patrick!!! simply stunning!!!
Beautiful and haunting
What beautiful photographs! They take me to places I can never hope to visit. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing, I really need to see places like that
Ive been to lake Minnewanka when i visited Banff with my friend Lou about eight years ago.I remember seeing the famous big horn sheep! your pictures are gorgeous.Have you ever been to Fernie in b c? thats where Lou lives and its a beautiful place to photograph.I would love to see it in your blog
you are a true inspiration – both as a photographer and as a traveller. two hobbies of mine which i do want to pursue some day when time is my own.
till then i will enjoy my virtual travels with you. 
More great shots, and if I delve far enough into my old photos I too have pictures taken here. Just how do you keep the camera going when its so cold? My Canon 20D battery gave up the ghost after about 20 minutes standing on this ice covered lake.
Gorgeous pictures Patrick! That second last is just breath-taking!

Just beautiful
theses are marvellous!
I sound like a broken record…you are magnificent ..I mean your photos are…ok you are too
Excellent photos Patrick (oh & thanks for dropping by my site the other day).
Magical Imagery . That Ram is a serious contender in the popularity stakes
I love the photo taken just after sunrise – the subtlety of the colour is beautiful! that big horn sheep is great too!
More beautiful images Patrick, well done!
The Bighorn really does look smug, that’s awesome! These pictures are truly breathtaking.
Wow so beautiful!
Beautiful… just out of the world, yet very much in it
wow!
Fantastic pictures!
Brrrr! I particularly like the portrait shot with the clouds.
Wow – breathtaking!
Truly fantastic images.
Beautiful!
Amazing images. You have an eye for beauty.
Love the big horn! Many years ago I was driving in the Rockies and saw two of them standing on a ridge looking down at the occassional car passing by. They are spectacular!
Simply magical! The kind of photos that makes you feel grateful for being alive on this amazing planet Earth.
Great Images, living in sunny South Africa it looks very cold there. You captured the mood very well, I feel the chill. Well done
Love the big horn sheep!!
Beautiful photos, keep them coming please!!!
why the hell do I live in Toronto???
I’d love to live there fora while … stunning if cold
Wonderful shots
Reblogged this on mjohnns.
I keep coming back to this…can’t get my head an heart around it… absolutely stunning! I wish I lived in that “little” house!
That tree in the water and the panorama that follows are simply stunning, then the last two… Clouds, oh, I am in heaven! And that sheep, his smile, good grief!
wonderful shots. I was there in Banff and the Icefields in April 2012 and the snow cover was fantastic
Now that is a cabin on the lake.
Neely, your photography is great, but your food photography is GREAT!
Of course the scenery photos are beautiful (as always) but I really like the pic of the sheep. He is stunning and it looks as if he is laughing at you!
Patrick, I would love to use one of your images as my FB Timeline banner. Am willing to pay for the digital right. Could you let me know what you charge and other relevant details? Thanks! I love your work!
I love your work, Patrick! And that you picked up the look on the sheep’s face gives further testament to your timing and skill!
Another batch of beauty.
Wo I am jealous ..theses are amazing captures….
Wow, you have some amazing work! Subscribed
would be interesting travelling with you
Stunning shots, as always! I especially love the one with the trees coming up out of the water.
Camped there this summer, beat vacation ever!
Fricking cold, brrr! Great Shots. You inspire me.
Ohhhh…so beautiful. Your work is amazing!
Love the 1st one and of course, Mr. Sheep too!
Breathtaking!
Absolutely incredible photography! Absolutely incredible vistas!
You have quite the eyes for photography, and i must say your brave walking around the great out doors like a polar-bear. Great shots, especially with the big horn and the ‘Dragon on the water’ as my niece called the half frozen plant life in the lake.

This Local Calgary guy has quite the eye for photography– I strongly suggest that you look up his prints, as they are amazing! Just look at Two Jack Lake!
Frostily gorgeous

Patrick: The other day I gave a “Like” to your Ram. Thanks for liking my Winter Solitude Image today…when I logged in through WordPress to my Elm Drive Images a full page of your lake scene was the first thing to come up. I liked it but have no idea how it happened. Do you? Also for the first time WordPress showed avatars or thumbnail images of some of the people who follow me on WordPress and mentioned they had also forwarded the post by tweet to 24 people who follow me on Twitter. I knew, of course, my followers automatically get a copy of my posts but had never seen them in the left panel alongside my post after I posted it. The one that tells you how many images you’ve posted. This was all in the dashboard area…No one else could see it…If this is confusing it’s because I’m an old man!
Stunning work.
This will doubtlessly sound ignorant, but why is the house built on the water? It looks cool, just wondered the reasoning behind it…
Your work is absolutely amazing! I don’t know whether I am more jealous of your surroundings or your talent in capturing them in photography.
I especially love the platform in the lake, the one where the platform seems to be floating in the sky.
so incredibly beautiful! That floating cabin is ethereal. Amazing work, Patrick.
Simply breath taking! You are very lucky to have such beauty around you and very talented to capture it so well.

Beautiful photography that is art and design
my fav is the sunrise snap…the mixture of warm tones in the other wise cold ones is so comforting…
Hi Patrick. I just wish I could write like you take photos. And I love the goat possibly best.
Love the shot of the smirking sheep. The house on the lake is beautiful as well. Canada oh Canada!! : )
Just takes your breath away, they’re so beautiful.
love the comic mouth in the last picture, nice winter pictures
A stunning confrontation with coldness and the challenge of nature overcomes me to see those impressive pics. They captured purity of life so close to feel what is true.
You and your camera … what a team you are.
I can really feel the chill through the screen. Stunning photos – one more stunning than the other. My favorites are the last two plus the trees in the water. Fantastic job.
great shots Patrick – stunning landscape..
Dude. I love your pictures. Job well done. What camera do you use? I’ve always wanted my pictures to come out so clear and beautiful.
Excellent photos
You just keep shooting more and better photos. Every one of them makes me want to be there!
The last portrait within this series is just amazing!
You have some truly amazing photos!
Truly impressive photos. I have added your site to a list post tonight of photography related blogs that people should be reading if they are not already. Thanks for the like on my blog as well.
The fog and the snow enveloping the cabin … brrr! reminds me too much of living in Central New York. Loved the photos and the Bighorn sheep with a huge smirk on his face.
Truly amazing.
Absolutely breathtaking!
BEAUTIFUL!! Makes me miss the mountains more than usual… if that’s possible!
I was just about to post the same reply! Great, great pics
Awesome pics….
What great shots! I remember camping at Two Jack Lake as a child. We were on our way to Calgary. Two cinnamon bear cubs rolled our Coleman cooler down to the lake. Hoping for a snack I think!
Wow, so beautiful!
This sure isn’t a creative comment, but AMAZING photos. Such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely breathtaking!
Thanks for the like on my post “Slightly Going Insane”! That first shot is incredible! You’ve got such talent! Keep up the good work!
Absolutely beautiful images! Thanks for following my blog too.
Love these images – esp. the buildings that appear to float – well, they do float – in a space somewhere between water and sky.
truly amazing! in the last shot, it looks as though the Sheep is almost smiling:)
Breathtaking, mysterious, cold, fresh – just a few things which come to mind!
Stunning work!
these are awesome photos. The first one is crazy how cool that came out. Great shots. Thanks
These photos are absolutely stunning!

The photos are beautiful! And the place looks amazing! It makes my want to pack up and go hiking! Great work!
Wow. I’m going to have to make a trip to Canada. These are stunning!
I smile at beautiful portraits of places I hiked/camped. The winter photos a treat, usually see the ‘summertime’ side of the Rockies as tourist playground.
Amazing as always…..made me shiver a little just looking at them. The last 2 are my favorites
So beautiful…I really enjoyed these images:)
Every longitude and latitude of this planet has wondrously beautiful landscapes but there is absolutely nothing like the Canadian wilderness. It’s often harsh and mystifying but always remarkable.
I love your photography.
These photos are gorgeous. I absolutely love the mist/fog coming off of the lake. So hauntingly beautiful.
Every time I see you photos I’m amazed at your skill: they are all truly beautiful! Even though that bighorn sheep does have creepy, smug eyes…
Beautiful pictures. . .the only time I actually like snow is in pics like these!
Wow! amazing pictures. It must be very very peaceful in that place.
Some very beautiful images… You are very talented.
Thanks for stopping by my blog too. Much appreciate.

Man. . . that last photo.
A really nice set of shots!
Amazing shots. Love the isolation of the house in the wide shots of the lake.
wow…stunning photographs (and scenery too)! Keep up the good work.
oh my. that is truly beauty on earth!
Your photos are exquisite. Don’t ever stop capturing the world’s beauty – you do it so well!
Great photos!
Wonder what happened to that tree in the lake. And that IS one smug Bighorn Sheep.
*note to self: make sure to go to Canada some day*
Beautiful, so beautiful ! These photos are superb, every single one of them !
these are truly incredible photographs!
Wow, these are stunning. Such a beautiful place.
The pictures are breathtaking! It makes me look forward to winter!
While I have not yet had the opportunity to travel as much as I’d like, these photos remind me of the beauty all around me, and that I don’t have to travel that far to experience it. Breathtaking…
The area I live in is gorgeous in some ways, but the landscape lacks any real sense of dramatic beauty. Your pictures are completely inspiring in that regard.
breathtaking shots!

A.maz.ing! The fallen tree in the water made me think of the loch ness monster ^.^
Stunning
Love the Bighorn’s cheeky grin! Such pristine spots tempt me to visit Canada, love the pictures
Unbelievably beautiful.
With a following and comments-scroll like yours, it’s hard to get a word in edgewise. I am honoured that you have chosen to follow my line of inane chatter. I hope you continue to find it interesting, amusing and educational.
These photos are incredible! I want so badly to see any of those places with my own eyes.
Amazing!!! but how cold was it???
I love that sheep. The look on his face is hilarious!!
Stunning photos!!
Amazing.
Gotta love that icy fog/mist! How close did you get to that goat?
you’re an inspiration! amazing photos
breathtaking! stunning photos!
LOVE these photos, Patrick! But I’m glad I don’t live in such a cold place anymore!
as usual, your works always rock! i love the snow and the sheep!
The fallen tree in the fog-shrouded water is beautifully moody.
This is stunning! Beautiful photos!
Great photos! It reminds me why Banff is one of my favourite places in Canada.
Stunning Photos!! What an amazing place!

FREAKING AMAZING that places like this really exist and people live in it.
I love your photos. Felt like I was along for the hike! ~Monique
I’m freezing man… Anyway.. you’ve got the perfect shot on the third photo… I love those stuff!
Amazing stuff!
I love your photos- I could constantly watch them. The photos are full of atmosphere. You feel the fog, the snow and the winter-like weather. It is like you really would like to be a t that place.
Beautiful pictures. i wish I had the means to visit such places as nice as shown in these. It must have been spectacular (and cold). They make excellent Ubuntu desktop backgrounds, especially well in that winter is approaching.
That first shot is breathtaking.
Your photography is amazing!!! Thank you!
Wow, this is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing.
That house? Cabi? It is simply gorgeous out there on the lake? Have you ever visited it? Is it someone’s private home or is it used for something else? It may be a lovely structure, but it is you photography that brings it to life. Always enjoy seeing your work. Thanks for sharing
Wow…I just got chills looking at these pictures..Stunning…Simply amazing..Makes me want to travel!
Beaut! I camped at two jack lake last summer and it was amazing.. the scenery there is incredible
Ahhh, Bighorn Sheep! They’re so special! And smug.
You are an amazing photographer of landscapes, animals, people, and water drops in suspended animation. I don’t know how you do it, and I envy your ability. Your black and white shots remind me of the word of Ansel Adams. I wish you a promising career, and thanks for all the inspirational visions. Thanks also for following my blog.
There are not enough adjectives to describe the beauty of your photographs or the depth of your talent! But I am grateful that you choose to share them with us. Sincerely Nancy

Photo of the bighorn sheep made me laugh. What with the non-predatory side-set eyes, he looks completely out of it…the mid-chew photo doesn’t help his case much!
Amazing shots!
Stunning photographs… I’m in BC now, but Calgary is my home town and I miss those mountains and lakes… not so much the ice and snow though. Thanks for sharing these beautiful images.
Your photos are absolutely stunning!!
These photos are absolutely beautiful, Patrick!
Whoa… incredible. I love #6 and the sheep. Canada is so beautiful.
I have goose bumps watching these pictures, and it’s not because of the chilly weather!
how do you make all your photos look so dreamy? seriously

This is a really fine set of images.
I am blown away by your photo’s – they are always visually stunning and intense; I love them!
Thank you for the like of my post “The Intruder”.
Pristine!
We’ve been there a few times over the years but never at this time of year. It’s beautiful and I’ll bet the crowds are gone,or are they?
These photos are breath taking. The scenery with it’s quiet waters, rocky escarpments and diffused light is awesome.
The phrase is, “Life isn’t measured by how many breaths you take, but by the times your breath is taken.” These are indeed some of those “breath taken” moments. I especially like the sunrise withe the two trees, and the floating houses at the base of the mountain. Is that a s**t-eating grin on the big horn?
Amazing!!!
Great photos, the kind I would like to get!
Gorgeous and chilling! And you are right, the Bighorn does look smug.
Amazing; love the floating house kind of look!
Fantastic photos Patrick, what a start to my Monday morning, thanks a lot.
Certainly can recommend this as a great place to lie low while they check the alibi.
Such beautiful photographs!
these photos are absolutely awesome!!!. Wonderful.
Cold Beauty…thanks for showing us this.
Amazing, breathtaking images.
Wow!!!
Living in the UK we’ve only over the last couple of years started to see landscapes like this again. Missed them so much. Love the first and third particularly.
Your pictures are stunning, they put across the beauty of nature so well! Yes, he does look rather smug lol
I’ve been to that area (Banff, Lake Moraine, etc.), but I missed Two Jack Lake. What beautiful scenery.
Looks like the sheep is trying to figure out what the hell he’s stumbled upon.
Gorgeous………and makes me glad I’m back in South Florida! Thanks for liking Emmmyjay’s Excellent Adventures.
These are beautiful! So atmospheric!
Quality articles is the main to attract the people to pay a visit the

I think I have to add this as a place to go to my ‘bucket list.” Inspiring and expansive. I bet it was stunning at night too.
You are very skilful photographer and your pictures are great to look at.
Fabulous pictures, it looks like quite the hideaway!
Gorgeous area and phantastic photos!
Truly incredible photos. Stunning.
Great shots Patrick! And what an expression on the sheep – classic!

Whoa! Amazing pictures that really touch my senses! Thanks for stopping by my picture less blog! I just like the printed word for my little stories. Appreciate you looking at my humble attempts to tell stories and amuse people!
Superb photographs. This made my evening. You’ve captured the power and fragility of the place. Now I need to go there!
These are really something… It suddenly feels cold and desolate where I am from just looking at them! Beautiful.

I liked the ice crystals on the sheep’s whiskers– reminded me of my mustache… : P
How, pray tell, can a partially submerged tree look so beautiful?? Superb artistry, Patrick, as usual. : )
Dude this beautiful!
I visited Minnewanka and Two Jack last summer and ran into the same problem of having the exit blocked by sheep on my way out as well! Apparently they can get quite vicious, but I couldn’t resist taking some photos!
