ALBERTA, CANADA
Alberta is the sixth largest province, located in the western part of Canada, with British Columbia to the west, and Saskatchewan to the east. It measures just over 660,000 square kilometers (over 250,000 square miles) in size. The Canadian Rockies can be found in part of Alberta, which is mainly where I explored, around Banff National Park & Jasper National Park.
Banff National Park
The oldest national park in Canada, is the beautiful Banff National Park that was established in 1885. This UNESCO World Heritage Site measures over 6,640 square kilometers (over 2,560 square miles) in size. Between the beautiful jagged mountains made of shale & limestone, countless lakes, flowing glaciers, ice fields, winding rivers, alpine forests, and incredible wildlife, Banff is a place you do not want to miss! Each time you think you have seen the most amazing landscape, you turn a corner and are blown away, again, and again! Moraine Lake, Vermilion Lakes, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, and Lake Louise are just a few of the many spots I explore, around Banff National Park!

Moraine Lake Lodge
I have dreamt about witnessing the beauty of Moraine Lake and staying at Moraine Lake Lodge, for years! When I first arrived in Banff, I had the pleasure of staying here for three days in room #25, located in the main lodge!! It was everything I ever imagined, including a wonderful view of the ten peaks from my balcony! The food was delicious, the service was so prompt, and the views were priceless. It was nice to be able to wake up first thing in the morning before sunrise, and feel like you had the entire lodge to yourself! I had such a beautiful experience staying at Moraine Lake Lodge!

Jasper National Park
Welcome to the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper National park! Established in 1907, this UNESCO World Heritage Site measures around 11,000 square kilometers (4,200 square miles) in size, and has some of the most incredible wildlife! Driving the Icefields Parkway is one of the most stunning drives in the Canadian Rockies. Maligne Lake, Medicine Lake, Spirit Island, Athabasca Falls, and Sunwapta Falls are a few of the many spots I explored around Jasper! The beauty of the glaciers, alpine forests, snow-tipped mountains, vivid lakes, and swirling rivers is extremely overwhelming. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to stop, take in the fresh air, and admire the beautiful landscapes!

Banff Aspen Lodge
As I made my way from Jasper back towards Banff, I had the pleasure of staying right along Banff Avenue! This picturesque little town had the most incredible views! The lodge is in an ideal location in the heart of Banff Avenue, and everywhere was within walking distance! My room was very comfortable, clean, and the service was wonderful! I loved the heated pool, hot tubs, and saunas!
