The lake drains through an underground limestone cave system, creating a unique hydrological phenomenon where it expands during the summer when glacial meltwater flows in and dries up completely during the winter due to reduced meltwater. Its underground rivers connect to Maligne Canyon, forming a complex underground water system. The local Indigenous people named it "Medicine Lake" because of the lake's seasonal disappearance. The Rocky Mountain National Park, to which the lake is located, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its unique geological features.

Located in Jasper National Park, Athabasca Falls is a waterfall formed in the upper reaches of the Athabasca River. It is known as the most breathtaking waterfall in the Rocky Mountains. Athabasca Falls is famous not only for its height of 23 meters and the rushing water, but also because the waterfall water carries sand and stones and impacts the two banks with great force to form a pothole.

Peyto Lake

Every summer, a large amount of glacial rock powder flows into the lake, and the particles of these rocks make the lake appear bright turquoise. Therefore, Peyto Lake has become a popular tourist attraction in the park.

Yoho National Park

Yoho National Park lies on the western slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Vertical rock walls, waterfalls and high peaks draw visitors from all around the world to this unique national park!

Emerald Lake

The beautiful Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park, covering an area of slightly more than one square kilometer.

Walking along the lakeside path, you can enjoy the reflections of the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the vigorous pines and cypresses nearby in the rippling blue water.

Natural Bridge

This natural bridge was formed after millions of years of erosion by the Kikinhaus River (also known as the Leaping Horse River). Initially, the river water washed out cracks in the solid rocks, causing the rushing river water to continuously break through the cracks in the rocks, and then gradually hollowed out the huge rocks from the bottom upwards, eventually making a huge rock blocking the river channel washed away into a "natural bridge" shaped like a bridge.
