Things to do in Golden

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.

Emerald Lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies is truly a stunning sight. Its green water is like a natural gem left by heaven, shining with a strange brilliance. This is the result of the interaction between the surrounding glaciers and snow-capped peaks and the minerals at the bottom of the lake tens of thousands of years ago, leaving the world with a beauty beyond imagination.

Banff National Park is a breathtaking destination where turquoise lakes, towering mountains, peaceful forests, and dramatic landscapes create an unforgettable experience. The scenery feels almost unreal, especially around the crystal-clear lakes surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Scenic roads, hiking trails, waterfalls, and quiet viewpoints offer countless opportunities to enjoy nature and capture beautiful photographs. In autumn, golden larch trees and colorful foliage add an extra layer of magic to the landscape. Whether you love hiking, photography, wildlife, or simply peaceful mountain views, Banff has something special to offer. It’s truly a dream destination for anyone who wants to experience Canada’s spectacular natural beauty.

The Fairmont Hotel faces the lake. The quiet lake is turquoise and clear, surrounded by mountains. The snow on the top of the mountain has not melted. The white snow, blue sky and blue lake form the most beautiful postcard.

The waters of Moran Lake were an unreal blue, as if a whole bucket of paint had been poured in. Ten mountain peaks stood close together, their snow-capped summits reflected clearly in the water. The pebble beach was crowded with people, taking photos horizontally and vertically with their phones. I squatted down and touched the water; it was so cold it made my fingertips go numb. A canoe sat in the middle of the lake, its occupants not paddling, just drifting along. When the sun was obscured by clouds, the water darkened, its color becoming heavy and somber. Sitting there for a while, it felt as if time had stood still. The wind rippled the lake's surface, the snow-capped mountains breaking apart and then coalescing again and again.

The second time I took my family there, I felt that Skywalk was similar to many in China, so I didn’t buy a package ticket. But I didn’t pay attention when I was riding the bus, and I went there for free. I felt like I had made a good deal.

The Arctic ice field is the most easily accessible outside the Arctic, and there are special snowmobiles to take you there. The area for sightseeing is not large, but it's great for taking photos. My family had a lot of fun. The supplier's email feedback was very prompt; they helped us change the dates.

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.
