1st stop Johnston Canyon

We were probably the oldest in the group. The rest were university exchange students. We were so unfit and were the last to return from the hike. The fall was still frozen. The trail was slippery because of icing on the ground.Read more

The view was stunning and magnificent. While it was cold, I still couldn't stop taking photos without my gloves: snow top mountains and green alpine trees.

Day 2
Bow Fall
April 22, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
3rd Stop: Bow Falls
Act, the fall itself was nothing special. Lawrence was so eager, insisting that I should use the tripod to take the photo of the fall. But the ice on the ground in needle form, a partially melted river, attracted me here.

Wikipedia: Needle ice forms when the temperature of the soil is above 0 °C (32 °F) and the surface temperature of the air is below 0 °C (32 °F). Liquid water underground rises to the surface by capillary action and then freezes and contributes to a growing needle-like ice column.Read more

Day 2
Surprise Corner
April 22, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
4th Stop: Surprise Corner and Hoodos
Surprise Corner has nothing surprising—just a corner to photograph the spring hotel.
The main attraction was supposed to be the 'Hoodoos', but we were mesmerised by the majestic rocky mountain instead. I don't think I even took a photo of the 'Hoodoos' LOLRead more

Staying overnight at Banff Town
OMG. I love this small town. I was telling Lawrence we must come back here with my parents. To our surprise, the tour was English and Chinese-speaking. My dad will enjoy this.

We were strolling up and down the town. We tried Beaver Tail and bought my Canadian Goose Outer jacket with only 5% tax here. I was told it can withstand -40 degrees and paid CAD 1250. But I felt cheated after, I was still feeling cold with it on. I don't think I can survive - 40 degrees with this jacket.Read more

Emerald Lake
The lake was still frozen. We walked on the lake and took photos. I wonder what it will be like when it melts.

2nd stop: Natural Bridge
The water was so clear, in turquoise colour. I guess the lake will look like this when the water melts. We must come back again when all the lakes unfreeze. I am sure it will be a totally different and equally stunning view.Read more

Lake Louise
April 23, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
3rd Stop: Lake Louise

It was still frozen. We walk across the lake on the ice. Our first time walking on a frozen lake. We must follow the path that people had walked on before. You can always be the first to explore a new path, but you will also be the first to find out if it is too thin to walk on and be prepared to get wet. After all, it was already the end of April, and the ice was often not as thick during the winter.Read more
