The Icefields Parkway, also known as Highway 93, is a scenic highway in Alberta, Canada. It runs parallel to the Continental Divide, traversing the rugged Rocky Mountains. It passes through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, connecting Lake Louise and Jasper. Today, Highway 93 merges with Highway 1 at Lake Louise and Castle Peak before entering Kootenay National Park in British Columbia. The highway is 232 kilometers long and was completed in 1940. The highway is named after the spectacular icefields along its route, including the Columbia Icefield.
Bow Lake, nestled in the Canadian Rockies, is a magnificent and elegant turquoise lake formed by glacial meltwater. This unique landscape is a result of the combination of glacial silt and meltwater. When the lake is calm, its tranquil waters act like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains.
Every summer, large amounts of glacial rock powder flow into the lake, giving it a bright turquoise color. This makes Peyto Lake a popular tourist destination within the park.
