Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park, established in 1885 in the Rocky Mountains. It is also one of Canada's most beautiful national parks with amazing scenery that attracts millions of visitors every year. Banff is likened to a beautiful natural picture, where there is a harmonious combination of the green of many dense forests and the blue of the lakes with the white of glaciers and unique ice fields.
In particular, visitors can take the Rocky Mountaineer train from Calgary to Vancouver to Banff - one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. Along the journey, visitors will have the opportunity to take in the magnificent scenery of the mountains of Alberta.
We invite readers to admire the beauty of autumn in Banff through images taken by television editor Ngo Trang, who is currently exploring Banff National Park and has just sent them to Travellive magazine.
Rocky Mountains
The Canadian Rocky Mountains, where Banff National Park is located, stretches from the US border to the end of northern British Columbia, Canada. This is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world with many beautiful and impressive scenes. The Canadian Rocky Mountains are different from the American Rocky Mountains in that they are severely eroded by snow and ice, creating a different terrain: wide mountain ranges with few sharp peaks and many U-shaped valleys with glaciers. This is the unique and different attraction of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Coming here, you can visit beautiful places such as Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Maligne Lake, Mount Robson, Mount Edith Cavell Mountain...
Lake Louise Glacier
Glacial Lake Louise is named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848-1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and wife of the Marquess of Lorne, Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. The lake's emerald green waters are formed by the melting of rock flour from glaciers. The lake covers an area of 0.8 km2 and is fed by the 3 km long Louise Creek, which flows into the Bow River.
Moraine Glacier Lake
Moraine is a glacial lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, located in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 1,885 m. The lake has a surface area of 0.5 km2. It is not accessible until late June after the glacier melt. When the lake is full, the surface of the water appears azure blue. This striking color is created by the refraction of light from the rock flour deposited in the lake. Standing on the shore, one can see the entire vast lake surrounded by majestic mountain ranges, which is a beautiful color at sunset.
