Icefields Parkway and Athabasca Glacier

From Moraine Lake, we drove along the Icefields Parkway which is the highway connecting Banff and Jasper national parks. It’s the most beautiful drive I’ve ever experienced. Not like a bungling jitney ride in polluted Manila. Not like zig-zagging on coastal cliffs on the Amalfi Coast. Not like getting whiplash in a cab in Shanghai. But fresh air, natural landscape, and furry wildlife.

Below I am freezing, but happy in front of the Athabasca Glacier—the most visited glacier in North America. I couldn’t get any closer it was so cold and the wind was whipping debris all over my face.
