CANADA ~ Upper Jade Lakes - Mount Revelstoke National Park ~

... Once more a spectacular Canadian nature view💚... and great new National Park👍... known for its incredible contrasts... from lush rainforest and 1,000 year old trees to imposing mountain peaks...  famous for summer wildflower displays on the summit of Mount Revelstoke...  hikes to the park's high country lakes offer superb mountain hiking across rolling terrain and breathtaking scenic vistas... approximately 600,000 visitors enter Mount Revelstoke and nearby Glacier National Park each year... Thanks a lot Glenn!【ツ】Fingerds crossed you can go back cruising soon...😊

From backside postcard:
"Upper Jade Lakes, located in Mount Revelstoke NP, a natural area to be protected for all time.The Canadian Parks Service finds it increasingly difficult to protect the natural environment of these protected areas as human activities within and beyond the Park boundary increase."

Mount Revelstoke National Park is located in southeastern British Columbia, occupying the western slope of the Selkirk Mountains. The park is relatively small for a national park, covering 260 km2 and was founded in 1914.

It is home to several large mammals, notably black bears, grizzlies, woodland caribou and mountain goats. Other mammals include hoary marmots, pikas, Columbian ground squirrels, and several species of bats. Some 235 species of birds use the area in summer.

  1. Hey Gerda,
    I'm glad you received this card, but I'm disappointed that Canada Post treated it so badly and let the Great Stamp Defacer abuse it with a pen cancel.
    Also if I may , I'd like to explain about the stamps that I used. The three stamps were all issued on Jan 15, 2021. They quite look like stamps from the past but in fact were all issued this past Jan. The Dog stamp , the Horse stamp and the Rooster stamp are all identical to stamps issued earlier - the dog on Jan 15, 2018-- the horse on Jan 13, 2014 and the rooster on Jan 9, 2017. The only difference in these and the ones that were on your card is that the earlier ones showed the International Rates at the time, $1.85 and $2.50 . The new ones on your card just show a P in a Maple Leaf which indicates the rate is permanent and good for domestic postage only. That is why I had to use 3 stamps to cover the international rate.
    The stamps issued this year were in a pane of 12 , each showing an old Lunar Year stamp from the past 12 years.
    I hope this makes some sense , I just didn't want you or your readers to wonder why I used old stamps for this latest Lunar New Year.

    1. Hello Glenn,
      Thanks for letting me know (now I remember that I read about these new stamp issues on your blog)!
      And I also really dislike the way the postal worker attacked the nice selection of stamps you put on the postcard with a ball point pen!:(
      Groetjes,
      Gerda
