I’ve been living in Canada for almost four years now, and there’s still so much left to explore. One of my goals has always been to spot a moose, and while that hasn’t happened yet, I’m determined to make it a reality. Until recently, Banff National Park was at the top of my list, and earlier this year, I finally had the chance to visit for a long weekend. The beauty of the place was overwhelming. Winter, in particular, seems to have been made for Banff—snow blankets everything, from the towering mountain peaks to the frozen lakes, which are solid enough to walk on. The waterfalls freeze mid-flow, creating breathtaking photo opportunities at every turn. Though I’m still on the hunt for that elusive moose, I can’t wait to explore the Canadian Rockies even more in the future.
