Canadian Rockies

Last month (Jun 20 - 28) I went with my family to Canada. Banff and Jasper National Parks are two of the largest parks found in the Canadian Rockies.

Here is Lake Louise. During the height of summer, when the winds are calmer, the water can be like a mirror, reflecting the mountain and the sky. Too bad, it wasn't that kind of day.


This is the Fairmont Chateau at Lake Louise.



And this is Morraine Lake just south of Lake Louise.



We also got to see the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park. It is said that the city of Vancouver can fit inside this icefield. One of the glaciers that flow out of the mountains is called the Athabasca Glacier. Here I am walking on the glacier.



And the foot of the glacier.



This one is called Emerald Lake. The water here is just amazing. I am sure it would have been really nice to be in the middle of the lake in a canoe. Unfortunately, they were already closed and it was just too cold.
