Day 2 — Bow Lake - Icefield Parkway - Columbia Icefield / Ice explorer (*Fall Season will replaced by Lake Minnewanka & Banff Upper Hot Springs) - Peyto Lake - Crowfoot Glacier
We will go deeper into Rockies today; visit Jasper National Park, the biggest National Park in Canada.
【Icefield Parkway】
One of Canada's national treasures and most rewarding destinations. Stretching 232km (144mi) through the heart of Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, this world-class journey offers access to a vast wilderness of pristine mountain lakes, ancient glaciers and broad sweeping valleys. (pass through)
【Bow Lake】
The most visited lake on the Icefield Parkway. On calm mornings, the reflection of the Crowfoot Mountain Range on the mirror-like surface of the lake creates a serene and enchanting atmosphere, making it the most delightful scenery for visitors. In the summer, this area serves as a foraging ground for bears, providing frequent opportunities to spot their tracks. For your safety, please remember to maintain a safe distance from bears. (stop for about 20 minutes)
【Columbia Icefield - Snocoach (Optional)】
This ice sheet is the largest single ice mass south of the Arctic Circle in North America, with dozens of glaciers originating from here. Being in its midst always evokes a profound sense of awe for nature. The region is also renowned for its Earth meteorological database, preserving centuries of climate changes. You can embark on an ice exploration journey here aboard the Glacier Adventure ICE Explorer - Snocoach to the surface of the glaciers. (stop for about 2.5 hours)
* Closed before the 1st Saturday of May and after the 2nd Saturday of October, will be replaced by Minnewanka Lake (20 minutes) & Banff Upper Hot Springs (Optional $$ - Pay onsite / 60 minutes)
* Will be replaced by Cave & Basin if Banff hot spring not available. Please bring the bathing suite for Banff Upper Springs if you plan to participate.
【Peyto Lake】
The ever-changing colors are the most famous scenery of Peyto Lake. The high-density glacial minerals in the water make the lake appear as if the waves are frozen at the edge, often leaving visitors questioning the reality of the water. The lake's colors can change with the seasons or weather, earning it the reputation as one of the representative lakes of the Rocky Mountains. (Stop for about 20 minutes)
* If not accessible, it will be replaced with Waterfowl Lake.
【Crowfoot Glacier】
Because, when initially discovered, the glacier had three ice masses resembling the claws of a crow, it was named accordingly. Unfortunately, due to climate change, one of the claws melted and collapsed in the early 20th century. Currently, only the remaining two claws are visible, serving as a compelling testament to the impact of the Earth's greenhouse effect. (Stop for about 15 minutes)
