Jasper National Park is one of Canada's most expansive and famous alpine national parks.

Located in the eastern part of Alberta, the park is a beacon for adventurers in the northern hemisphere.

Jasper has the reputation of being the largest park in the Canadian Rockies and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Banff and a number of other parks.

It is also the second largest and the only Dark Sky Star Reserve in the world with human inhabitants in its central area.

The air here is fresh and clear, and there is a completely unpolluted and pure canopy with excellent viewing conditions.

When night falls, you can look up at the twinkling stars and the bright river of stars in the vast night sky and feel the mystery and vastness of the universe.

There are other lingering attractions here that make it worth a visit.

1. Columbia Icefield

The Columbia Icefield is the largest ice field in the world, except for the Arctic Circle.

It is the largest ice field in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and is a popular destination for glaciers.

If you leave Banff National Park from Lake Louise to the north, you will be able to enjoy the wonders of the glacier on the way.

The ice of the glacier, due to the extremely high density of ice, sunlight can not be refracted, will present a crystal clear blue light, in the clear sky is very magnificent.

Historical data shows that Canada has experienced four major ice ages.

The most recent ice age was 10,000 years ago, when a huge glacier spanned several centuries, flowing from the Columbia Icefield north to the present-day Cascades and south through the present-day city of Calgary, sealing the entire mountainous region in thick ice.

Because the snow is as thick as a mountain, it is not an area where humans can travel.

So tourists have to take a plane to look down and see this rare spectacle that has been experienced for 10,000 years.

As for the tourist hotspots that can be reached by land, the glacier area is formed by the flow of the ice sheet.

There are a total of eight glaciers in the Columbia Icefield, the most familiar is the Athabasca Glacier.

2. Lake Marin

Lake Marin is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Rocky Mountains and the largest glacial lake in the Canadian Rockies.

It is a long glacial lake with a length of 22 kilometers from north to south and 1 kilometer from east to west, and visitors can take a yacht to Spirit Island, which narrows to 200 meters, to enjoy the scenic poster-like views.

The hiking route of Lake Maline is flat and located on the eastern shore of the lake, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk along the lake to reach Schaffve Viewpoint, where the view is most spectacular from afar and the chance of encountering large animals in the morning is quite high.

There are many hiking trails around the lake, magnificent scenery around the lake, and a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy, as well as many wild animals and wildflowers nearby.

Medicine Lake, on the way to Lake Marin, looks no different from other lakes in summer, but after autumn the lake slowly drops and disappears.

And it is still a mystery whether there are caves or waterways at the bottom of the lake.

Surrounded by snow-covered peaks, the valley falls right into the lake.

Take a boat ride in the lake, the lake and the mountains are as beautiful as a fairyland.

Every park in Canada has its own unique beautiful scenery.

Whether you like adventure, intend to relax or go on a family trip, Jasper National Park is an ideal travel destination.
