The Candian Rockies are a paradise for those who love to explore mountain landscapes. This stretch of jagged mountain range is full of glacial ice, turquoise-colored lakes, massive waterfalls, flower-covered meadows, and abundant wildlife. The best way to experience this vast wilderness playground is on foot.
