Where does all that Water come from? … 3 Days in Banff … Takakkaw Falls

Waterfall …
you are the bounty

Takakkaw Falls 

Whenever I see a waterfall I always wonder where all that water is coming from?
It often comes from far away. 

But in the mountains, us earthbound folk know that somewhere above – out of sight –
there is likely a glacier.
