Traveling to Banff and Jasper, Canada







I went on a trip to Banff and Jasper, Canada, during the Chuseok holiday from September 24th to October 3rd.
The itinerary was Korean Air from Incheon to Vancouver, and WestJet from Vancouver to Calgary. For the return flight, the WestJet leg from Calgary to Vancouver had a one-hour and forty-minute layover. I was nervous because the takeoff was delayed by an hour, and since the transfer distance was insane, I was sweating bullets, but I barely made it just in time.
Actually, my yearly joy has been traveling to Hawaii, but since my wife's friend lives in Vancouver, we ended up going here instead. Apparently, a typhoon hit Hawaii during the Chuseok period.ㅠ
They say it can snow anytime in late September or early October, and since our itinerary included glacier viewing at the Columbia Icefield, I geared up with an Arc'teryx Beta+ and Cerium at the CrossIron Mills outlet in Calgary, so the cold wasn't an issue at all.
We were lucky with the weather; every time we visited a must-see spot, we were welcomed by blue skies, making it a truly happy trip.
At our accommodation in Jasper, being a lodge, there was a fireplace, and my child absolutely loved the roaring fire. We also spotted wildlife along the way (elk, moose, and foxes in Jasper, and a black bear in Banff), so I think we were quite lucky.
To be honest, Canadian food is all quite similar in taste and variety, so I was always craving Korean food.
However, the vast and surreal landscapes are still lingering in my mind.
It was a trip that left a very deep impression.
