This place is famous. If you are from the south, I suggest you go and see it. After all, it is a world of ice. Take a special snow car. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the glacier. It is sunny and windy on the glacier. Wear more clothes. The service area under the glacier is very good. There are food and drinks. You can see the distant view of the glacier while drinking coffee. It is very comfortable. There are also tourist commodities.
When I went to Banff in early October, it was snowing heavily. From Jasper to Banff, I truly appreciated the beauty of the Icefield Parkway. There were beautiful snow-capped mountains on both sides. It felt great to drive a Wrangler along the smooth road!

Although Yoho National Park is the smallest among these national parks, it has my favorite, Moraine Lake, which ranks number one. The road may be closed in early October in winter, so you can't go in.
Yoho National Park in the Canadian Rockies is the smallest national park in the region, but it is "small and exquisite" and is famous for its magnificent scenery. "Natural Bridge", Bow River, waterfalls in the pictures below...

Emerald Lake is so wonderful and beautiful. Coming here is like waiting for something! This is how it feels to live in this magical world. This is how it feels to live to the extreme!
We headed westwards to Ngari, Tibet, and were about to enter Ngari from Yecheng, Xinjiang. On the way to Yecheng, Xinjiang, we accidentally received an article from a friend about the Emerald Lake in Dachaidan, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai. We were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery described in the article. We all agreed to pass by the Emerald Lake in Dachaidan to see its beautiful scenery.

Glacier National Park is the result of the merger of Canada's Waterton Lakes National Park (Alberta) and the United States' Glacier National Park (Montana), forming the world's first international peace park - Waterton Glacier International Peace Park. I was lucky enough to have traveled there by car, it was so huge
Snow-capped mountains, lakes, and forest hiking can be summarized as the projects of this national park. It is very interesting. You can drive in by car. Basically, there are no boundaries in the park.
