That’s reasonable. It’s non-standard to write the city and then the two letter country abbreviation. Would’ve made more sense if they wrote “Jasper, AB, Canada”.

Took a road trip with my grandparents when I was like 12? Jasper is the one place I remember being like holy shit this is stunning.

I get that a lot. It was randomly generated by Reddit but it felt appropriate and I kept it.

I was in Jasper this summer and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been! Just stunning vistas every way you look.

Banff is south of Jasper!

That’s Canada!

Nice to meet you Ms. National Park

I came here to comment "Inb4 an American gets confused and thinks this is California"
But I was too late
VIVXPrefix t1_irami9i wrote
What do you think?? Are there any clues in the image that may lead you to the correct answer?
morphballganon t1_iramzfj wrote
... maybe they lived in Canada?
RuhWalde t1_iraowkk wrote
If you mean the fact that there's snow and peaks suggests that it couldn't possibly be California, you don't know much about California. An image more or less like this could absolutely be taken in the Sierras, especially if there was some color manipulation on that water. Of course, close inspection of that peak in the background will reveal it to be too tall for the Sierras, but that's not so obvious that it makes sense to ridicule someone for not seeing it immediately.
GetALife80085 t1_irapu1d wrote
Good to see California still has water
ntropi t1_iraq9yb wrote
Sounds like you just came here to dis Americans but judging by their post history, the person who got thrown off by the lack of mention of Alberta in the title appears to actually be from Alberta.
VIVXPrefix t1_iraqzln wrote
It was because I recognized OP used a strange location format that I knew would be easily confused. I also thought any Canadian would automatically assume Jasper, AB, so I guess the comment I am replying to is actually sarcastic and I missed it. But also people should be able to tell from the geography that it's not California immediately
VIVXPrefix t1_irar64h wrote
No, it's that the mountains in California have a different makeup than those in the Canadian rockies, which is pretty easy to distinguish
SlenderSmurf t1_irask7j wrote
Thanks professor
ntropi t1_irask9c wrote
Yea, especially anyone who frequents this sub. Jasper photos are pretty common. I just thought it was funny that the one who got confused was someone who lives probably a 4 hour drive from there.

Athabasca Falls are gorgeous any day of the year. Great shot!
peeinherbut t1_irau2ri wrote
I recently got back from a Banff/Jasper and man Jasper was just absolutely incredible. Banff was really nice as well but Jasper isn’t nearly as crowded/touristy and both are equally as scenic.

Yoho National Park is also in the Canadian Rockies, just south of Jasper. Good thing they didn't visit that one instead.

Yeah, well were on a sub that is entirely focused on earth's geography. It's not like that's unobtanium knowledge.

sillykinesis t1_irbfpfn wrote
I underhand that. But those of us who’ve never been to Canada and who are accustomed to the standard notation of city, state, country on a U.S.-based website were understandably confused. And I am merely saying that it’s not out of the question to find a scene like this in California. I myself have experienced scenery like this in Mammoth Lakes, Truckee, Tahoe, Placerville.

It’s snowing in Jasper already?

That explains it. I stand corrected (from the Jasper perspective).
