Icefields Parkway, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada 22

Description : To remember Rockies geology, take it range by range. The main ranges are the highest ranges (they include Mt. Robson and the group of mammoth peaks surrounding the Columbia Icefield). The main ranges form the continental divide, which splits North America into eastern and western slopes. In Jasper National Park, the main ranges are largely coarse sandstone, limestone, shale, and a somewhat metamorphic rock called quartzite, in particular, Gog quartzite.
