The Icefields Parkway is the only way to Jasper National Park. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and has beautiful scenery. The boarding point to the Columbia Glacier is right next to the Icefields Parkway. Riding an icefield snowmobile to the glacier is spectacular and shocking.

In the summer, take Canada’s highest aerial tram – the Jasper Skyway – which takes you to an altitude of 2,277 meters for a breathtaking view of the Rocky Mountains from the air. Admire the majestic six peaks, the rushing Athabasca River and the beautiful town of Jasper below. You may even spot brown bears looking for berries in the distance.

Compared with several other famous lakes, Pyramid Lake is smaller and less popular, and there were not many tourists in the past. However, the weather was clear when we went there, so the entire lake looked very beautiful.

You still have to go to see it on a sunny day. When the weather is bad, the lake surface is a bit dark and cold^_^

A must-see in Jasper National Park! The waterfalls, fed by the meltwater of the Athabasca Glacier, are breathtaking in their sheer volume and the roaring sound of the cascading water. Perfect for self-drive or group tours, the falls offer free parking nearby.

The mountains around Banff were so high they made my neck ache. The lake's color was strange, neither blue nor green, as if it had been artificially altered. As we rode the cable car up, the treetops below stretched out like a green velvet carpet. The snow on the mountains hadn't completely melted, and the wind made me shiver. Deer strolled slowly along the roadside, ignoring tourists taking photos. Lake Louise's surface was as calm as a mirror, but after standing there for a while, it just looked the same. On the way down, it was getting dark; the mountain shadows loomed large and heavy, and the icicles along the roadside were a striking white.
