Stepping into Banff National Park, I felt like I had fallen into a beautiful dream. The snowy mountains shone holy light under the light of the sun; the lake was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the magnificence of the surroundings, and the color flowed with the light and shadow, which was fascinating. In the forest, the pine waves, the encounter of the deer added a little bit of energy to this tranquility. Here, it is a treasure gift of nature, healing and beautiful.
Sunshine Meadow, Banff National Park, Canada
Sunshine Meadow, located southwest of Banff Town, is a vast grassland in Banff National Park, showing unique alpine meadow scenery and pleasant scenery. We drove to the parking lot of Sunshine Meadow (Sunshine Village Parking Lot), and then took a yellow school bus to go up the mountain. Private cars are prohibited in this area, retaining the original tranquility and purity.
Sunshine Meadow exudes a unique charm, with a sense of wilderness in the desolation, majestic and beautiful. Looking from a distance, the endless snow-capped mountains rise into the sky; looking closely, wild flowers are everywhere in the forest, competing for beauty. We strolled on the winding mountain hiking trails, with tall larch trees standing tall on both sides, and the autumn is in full swing.
Sunshine Meadow offers many hiking options. We selected a route around the lake, which is about 6 kilometers in total. Along the way, three alpine lakes are inlaid like pearls. Every scene is intoxicating and beautiful beyond words. This hiking route is praised by Lonely Planet as one of the most beautiful hiking routes in the world.
Sunshine Grassland is very good and worth a visit👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

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!
