But I was too late

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.

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

There are some breathtakingly gorgeous mountain-and-snow places in California.

The mountains and ground look visibly different from the Canadian Rockies

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.

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.
