The Cline River - a photo on Flickriver

The Cline River

            The Cline River is a short river in western Alberta, Canada. It flows from Pinto Lake and joins the North Saskatchewan River at Lake Abraham in west-central Alberta. I photographed this exact junction-point while hiking one of the many wilderness trails to be found in Alberta's David Thompson County. 

David Thompson County is the name of a recreation area and series of parks west of Rocky Mountain House along Alberta's David Thompson Highway.  The area is less developed than areas further south such as Kananaskis County. In it, the hamlet of Nordegg serves as the dividing line between the Rocky Mountains to the west and the Rocky Mountain foothills to the east.

The area derives its name from David Thompson, a British-Canadian fur trader, surveyor, and cartographer who mapped 4.9 million square kilometres  of North America. Thompson used Rocky Mountain House, a fur trading post, as a launching point to find passage to the Pacific Ocean, and travelled west through the area to the headwaters of the Columbia River.

This summer, I plan to make a number of trips into David Thompson County to photograph more of  its wondrous wilderness sights.
