βSometimes in-person experiences are a bit of a let down from epic pics seen circulating online, but these lakes easily exceeded our expectations. As massive glaciers grind away rock and deposit fine βglacial flourβ into the lakes, a stunning turquoise tone is born. Youβve got to see it to believe it.β
βOn our way to Banff (Canadaβs first and most beautiful national park) and Jasper (the largest park in the Rockies), we have a close call with a hungry black bear by the lakeside bushes of Emerald Lake. [...] While we are preoccupied with taking in the misty, forest-fire smoke-covered beauty of Emerald Lake and photographing our cats by the scenic lakeside, a black bear comes lumbering on the lakeshore and heads towards where we are. We quickly move to the dirt path to briskly walk away from the black bear.β
βIn late August 2017, we traveled to Albert, Canada for a thirtieth birthday celebration with my cousin and her husband. We had a fabulous time as usual. The landscape was breath-taking. To me it was more beautiful in person than in pictures you see. I always assumed they were enhanced and edited. They are not.β
