From this height of land featuring some of the Rockies loftiest, most glaciated peaks the terrain tumbles down into broad valleys cut by the headwaters of big, wild rivers such as the Athabasca, North Saskatchewan and Smoky. The topography continues its eastward descent through the front ranges and into forested slopes of pine, fir and Northern Rockies area is big country, much of it protected and designated for non-motorized recreation use.
