Moraine Lake in Canada 🇨🇦 National Park Moraine Lake is a unique scenery in Canada National Park The color of the lake cannot be described in words Unique blue-green Reflection of mountains and water It is so dreamy I am immersed in her beauty Quietly staring at the lake I wish time would stop at this moment No time to wake up from the dream Thunderstorms at this time Still do not affect the charm of nature It's like a concert of nature I stayed there for an afternoon and forgot myself I left willingly Little knowledge about Moraine Lake📚 Moraine Lake is a glacial lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, 14 kilometers away from Lake Louise.

Banff is a must visit for anyone who's a nature lover Even if nature isn't you're thing, don't worry as Banff is still very accessible and you can still admire it. Joining a tour is an option, especially if you go from Calgary. Further a day trip is also feasible but I would suggest spending a night or two to really feel the park and explore most of what it has to offer. Banff is truly an amazing place as no landscape is the same after that moment, meaning even five minutes later, the same landscape would have changed. You'll find ice capped mountains, beautiful green forests, turquoise lakes and wildlife. You also might be greeted by the four seasons all in one day. Obviously the best time to visit is in summer when you can take advantage of the nice weather outdoors but other seasons have their own flavors as well. Therefore hop in a car and just drive around and get lost in this marvelous national park or Canada's backyard. Overall, Banff has plenty to offer. You'll be greeted by lovely nature landscapes and memories that will awe you for the rest of your life. #nationalpark #nature #explore #travel #banff #alberta #canada

These are photos from when I was touring the great outdoors of the Canadian Rockies, based in Banff, Canada. I was shown around by a Japanese guide who I had booked from Japan. There are many Japanese people living in Canada, so it was helpful to have a guide in Japanese. The nature is powerful, and you can feel its harshness and grandeur. I was able to feel the natural beauty of this place, where temperatures are very harsh in winter. #snowscape

#PleaseWinter The first thing that comes to mind when you think of winter is snow It's not the kind of snow that just falls once, but a place where you live in the snow all winter long! A place where Elsa and Anna will come out to greet you at any moment. A trip to Frozen left me with another memory. #CanadaTravel #CanadaHotPlaces #CanadaVancouver #RockyMountains #LakeLouis #VancouverTravel

Banff National Park. One of the best trips I have ever been on. Flew into Calgary, and drove around all the lakes and glaciers! I have been back three times since because I love it so much. This place should be on everyone's list! 📍Emerald Lake (BC) 📍Moraine Lake 📍Peyto Lake 📍Peyto Glacier #hiking#nationalpark#naturalwonders#urbanexplorer#roadtrip#leaveyourmark

Peyto Lake is one of the most popular lakes in Banff National Park. The water is a brilliant blue colour like paint, and you can reach an elevated viewpoint with a short 10 minute walk. There are few views that will take your breath away faster! Peyto Lake is currently closed for renovations until summer 2021, but it should be on every Banff bucketlist! #banff #bucketlist #canada #lake #beautiful

The Tower of Babel scramble in Banff National Park is one of the most amazing adventures in the entire park. start at the base of Moraine Lake and climb the steep scree shoot until you pop out into the top. Once you’re at the top you’ll have stunning views of Consolation Lakes on one side and Moraine Lake on the other. Few people ever make it this far!

lake Herbert is a beautiful lake on the Icefields Parkway on the way to Jasper. It’s the first lake you’ll come across as you pass the park gates, and most people just breeze past it! If you stop there early in the morning, you might just get one of the best reflections in the entire national park! The water is shielded from wind and is a little warmer than the glacial fed lakes. There’s even a diving board at the far end of the lake for the brave amongst you! #lake #canada #banff

The Mount Temple Scramble is one of Banff’s most popular and challenging hiking objectives. It’s one of the only 11,000ft mountains that you can safely scramble without any mountaineering equipment, and if you make it to the top you’ll have stunning top down views of Moraine Lake. The hike starts from Moraine Lake and passes through Larch Valley and Sentinel Pass on the way to the summit. #mountains #hiking #canada #banff

The Mt. Norquay Via Ferrata is a relatively new attraction in Banff. It’s an amazing way to experience mountaineering without in a safe way, with zero skills! It’s an exciting way to summit a mountain and it’s easily one of Banff’s best attractions. There are different routes that cross bridges, planks and high wires, and at the end of the day there’s an amazing charcuterie board waiting for you! #banff #norquay #canada #travel

Waterfowl Lakes are another beautiful group of bright turquoise lakes in Banff National Park. They lie along the Icefields Parkway on the way up to Jasper, and the shores are within just a few feet of the parking area. The view is spectacular, and it’s an amazing place to bring a stand up paddle board and go for a paddle! #banff #canada #lake #reflection #sup

Bow Lake is a stunning lake on the Icefields Parkway in Banff. It’s one of the easiest lakes to access on the way up to Jasper, and makes for some incredible sunrise photos.

Make sure you visit Num Ti Jah Lodge for some Bison Chili! #banff #canada #lake #reflection

Lake Louise, located in Banff, is said to be the most famous lake in Canada. It is so beautiful and famous that there is even a song inspired by Lake Louise. It is so beautiful in both summer and winter! In winter, you can enjoy ice skating on the frozen lake.

Checking out the view of Peyto Lake, a unique fox/wolf-shaped lake located in Alberta, Canada.

The hike to Peyto Lake is very easy. From the parking lot, it's only a 10 minute trek up. Arrive early to avoid the crowds.

Peyto Lake is one of the most unique lakes in Canada. It literally looks like a fox's head. But what's even more stunning is the amazing blue colour of the glacial water.

Bow River, Alberta - Canada: The Bow River is a key river in Canadian Rocky. We can easily see this river when we drive along. The river looks nice and really huge. The water is head to Bow Lake in Banff National Park. There is also a viewpoint to see this beautiful river.

Lake Louise, Banff - Canada: This stunning place is in Banff National Park. The turquoise water looks really great. The Canadian Rockies view is also awesome. You can enjoy canoeing in summer time and skating in winter time. 🛶🛶🛶

Bow Falls - Canada: Bow Falls in Bow River is a must place to go when visiting Banff National Park. It is easy to go as there is a parking lot nearby. We have to walk a little bit up by using the stairs to have a look at the wide waterfalls. Not that adventurous.

SULPHUR MOUNTAIN -Banff Canada Sulphur Mountain is a mountain in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains overlooking the town of Banff, Alberta, Canada. The mountain was named in 1916 for the hot springs on its lower slopes.We took a cable car, The cable car will lift you to the very top, where you will be met by mountain goats. A stunning view of the mountain ranges opens in all directions.A MUST VISIT!!!

Lake Lake, Banff Park, Canada, must see Raiders! For the little fairy who wants to go to Banff National Park in Canada, Lake Louise is definitely a treasure trove that you can't miss, and who knows who is going to "the sapphire of the Rocky Mountains". The lake water in Lake Louise contains minerals under the glacier, and the clear blue-green color appears in the sun, and the color of the lake changes with the intensity of the light. From a close look, the lake is light green, and in the distance it is greenish. If you look up the lake, it looks like a crystal clear emerald inlaid in the magnificent mountain peaks and the spectacular Victoria Glacier. For Lake Louise, the best tourist season is between June and October, and the most tourists in the park in July and August, this time is full of sunshine. The temperature is comfortable, the scenery is pleasant, and the road conditions are good. In June, September and October, the mountains will be a bit cold, but there will be fewer tourists and more fun. Address:Improvement District No. 9

Maple Lake Deliberately arranged in the sky, half of the beauty of Canada is hidden in the Rocky Mountains. It is a surprise in a circle in Banff! Usually travel to the lake, not to walk on the shore or to go boating on the lake, but Banff has a lake that can only be seen from afar and not playable - Peyto Lake. Because it is narrow and surrounded by steep cliffs and dense forests, there is almost no way to get close to it. The tour guide took us to a viewing platform at Bow Peak, overlooking it from the hill. Wow! A beautiful lake shaped like a maple leaf appears in the rain and fog, and God can really arrange it! Maple Leaf Lake is blooming in the Maple Leaf Country. Looking into the drizzle, Peto Lake is also like the dream beauty of the emerald blue robe in the gauze. This alpine icy lake shows its kneeling in front of people without reservation. The beauty conquered the senses of the people, the beauty of the heart, the beauty of the pity, the beauty of the beautiful and lovely. The sky in the mountains is changing. When we went to Peto Lake, the rain instantly began to fall. The ice and water of the mountains and rivers merged into several streams like milk, which infiltrated into the lake, and the eyes were suddenly unrealistic. Attracted by the color, the lake is like a jasper belt worn on the Rocky Mountain, painted with turquoise paint. In the many lakes of the Rocky Mountains, Peto Lake has almost no requirements for seasons and time, no matter when you go, you can see its most beautiful side.

I am very afraid of wintering in Shanghai. It is particularly difficult to get wet, but Alberts winter is really cold even if its minus ten degrees. The Fairmont Hotel in Lake Louise is also so good! Sitting on a million-dollar landscape window, a window of ice and snow outside the window, like a dream

Emerald Lake is the most popular attraction in Banff Park. Some people describe her as the emerald under the Victoria Icefield. The above stone is the standard "visitor photo", please line up haha. The two small partners took time-delay, I am here to help many international friends from India, Canada, South Korea, and nationality, using Apple, Samsung and Huawei (yes, international friends also use domestic products, mighty) and many more. Kinds of equipment, the creation of portraits, the text is not taken, the guests and the guests are full of joy, fully embodies the development trend of the new era of the harmonious global village... also took a picture of the passing squirrel brothers, but may not be satisfied with the shot , ran... Hahaha Victoria Glacier in the distance is really good to set off the calmness of the lake, but unfortunately several times to the clouds are a bit thick.

Look at Aurora to push Canada! Driving in Canada last October, I saw a strong aurora in Banff National Park for two consecutive days, and I saw a rare proton arc, like a white rainbow at night. Canada is actually a country that sees a lot of Aurora, especially in Huangdao Town. On average, you can see Aurora more than 200 days a year. It is much higher than Nordic! Mainly in the Nordic winter night, there are many clouds. Recommended: 1. Banff National Park, Jasper National Park (The two parks are generally connected, last year the national parks are free of tickets, it seems to continue to be exempt this year) 2. Yellowknife Town (The aurora seen here is almost at your fingertips, super shock! There are many sunny days in the yellow knife, and two-thirds of the year can see the aurora in about 250 days) The best time to see Aurora: 8-9 months, December-April, but we also saw aurora explosion in October: We are going to National Day Self-driving for 18 days, the average per capita cost is 1.5w, and the price in Canada is much cheaper than in Northern Europe. Visa: It is easy to apply for a Canadian visa, except for the fact that the materials are more annoying than the electronic files, and the validity period is high until the passport expires. Automobile: In addition to the slightly more complicated urban roads in Vancouver, several national parks are not difficult to drive. Canada car rental is also cheap accommodation: people living in Canada is super cost-effective, during the National Day, we do not increase the price of accommodation one day in advance - accommodation per night, 3,400 per person, with kitchen living room Small apartment/villa. Play: 1. See wild animals such as , , , , , , etc. hike (the scenery on foot is beautiful! Canada's very easy hiking route ) 3. Punch various red spots, Banff and Jasper super beautiful beautiful red spots!

#magicalxmastrip #canada #banffnationalpark Banff National Park isn’t just a place—it’s a bucket-list adventure waiting to happen. Nestled in the jaw-dropping Canadian Rockies, this park is a hiker’s dream, offering trails for every level of explorer, from first-timers to seasoned mountaineers. Want an easy start? The Lake Louise Lakeshore Trail is your gateway to paradise. Imagine strolling along a turquoise lake so stunning it looks like it’s been Photoshopped. Or head to Johnston Canyon, where waterfalls crash and catwalks lead you right into the action. Perfect for selfies (and snacks). Looking for something a bit spicier? Try the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail, where the views are so epic they deserve their own Instagram account. Or venture to Larch Valley in the fall, where golden larches make the mountains look like they’re on fire. Feeling fearless? The Sentinel Pass will test your mettle with steep switchbacks and a payoff of jaw-dropping panoramas. For the truly bold, Mount Temple Scramble brings thrills and chills (literally). And for hardcore adventurers, multi-day treks like the Skoki Loop will take you deep into the wild. But wait—don’t forget the bears! Keep bear spray handy, stay in groups, and don’t let the wildlife steal your granola bars. And remember, Banff’s weather can flip-flop like a coin, so pack layers. In Banff, every step is an adventure. Lace up, hit the trails, and let the mountains work their magic!

#northamericatrip Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park is a hiker’s paradise, offering trails for all skill levels with breathtaking views of alpine landscapes, turquoise lakes, and diverse wildlife. Covering over 6,600 square kilometers, the park boasts a variety of hiking experiences, from short nature walks to challenging backcountry treks. For beginners or those seeking a leisurely outing, the Lake Louise Lakeshore Trail is a must-visit. This easy, flat trail provides stunning views of the iconic lake framed by towering peaks. Another accessible option is the Johnston Canyon Trail, where you’ll traverse catwalks and bridges to reach the Lower and Upper Falls. Intermediate hikers can tackle the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail, offering panoramic views of glaciers and mountains, or the Larch Valley Trail, famous for its golden larch trees in autumn. Both trails reward adventurers with unparalleled vistas. For seasoned hikers, the Sentinel Pass and Mount Temple Scramble are more demanding routes. These trails provide awe-inspiring views but require proper preparation and fitness. Backcountry enthusiasts can explore multi-day treks such as the Skoki Loop, venturing deeper into pristine wilderness. Wildlife encounters are common, so carrying bear spray and hiking in groups is recommended. Weather can change rapidly, so dressing in layers and checking trail conditions is essential. With its diverse trails and stunning scenery, Banff National Park is a dream destination for hikers seeking to connect with nature in one of the world’s most beautiful settings.
