Bow Lake: It is said that the Douglas fir trees growing near the shore of Bow Lake are suitable for making bows, hence the name Bow Lake. Bow Lake is the largest lake on the Icefields Parkway, a famous scenic road in Canada, and is also one of the most beautiful scenic lines on this road.

Columbia Icefield: It is the largest icefield in the Rocky Mountains and one of the most accessible glaciers in North America. Due to the extremely high density of the ice layer of the glacier, the sunlight cannot be refracted, and the glacier will present a crystal clear blue light, which is very magnificent under the clear sky. Take the world's unique giant wheel snowmobile to reach the 300-meter-deep Athabasca Glacier. You can walk on the glacier to experience the magic of nature firsthand, and have the opportunity to taste the special taste of 10,000-year-old glacial water.

Glacier Skywalk: On the Glacier Skywalk, you can see the surrounding glaciers and snow-capped mountains, as well as various wild animals. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the curved glass bridge extends out of the cliff, a combination of beauty and courage.

Natural Bridge: Located in Youhe National Park, this natural bridge was formed by the erosion of water and sand on the Kicking Horse River. The river water flows quickly over the "bridge" to create a huge sound.
