Canada’s Crown Jewels: Banff, Yoho & Jasper

Step into a world where mountains embrace the sky, turquoise lakes mirror the clouds, and every sunset feels like a new masterpiece. This gallery is my tribute to three of Canada’s most breathtaking national parks—Banff, Yoho, and Jasper—where nature paints in the boldest colors and the grandest strokes.

Banff National Park

Panoramic view of Banff from Tunnel Mountain Peak, with the serene Vermilion Lakes glistening in the valley behind

Lake Louise shrouded in dense morning fog during our visit.

Along the Lake Louise Lakeshore Trail, the morning fog slowly recedes, unveiling the tranquil colors of summer.

Past Lake Louise, the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail glows under the warm light of a late summer afternoon

Back in Banff, a storm loomed overhead — I was lucky to capture a few shots in the brief calm before the rain

The storm gave way to a brilliant summer sunset. The next morning, on our final day in Banff, we set out to explore the Johnston Canyon Falls

Yoho National Park

On our first day in Yoho, we visited the beautiful Emerald Lake, shimmering in its vibrant shades of blue

Hiking the Emerald Lake Loop revealed additional viewpoints, each offering a fresh perspective

At our campground, unsettled weather rolled in. Towering mountains and drifting fog combined to create a moody, dark atmosphere.

After the rain, wildlife emerged around the park, with our RV refecting in the puddles

A long-exposure shot captured the fog as it drifted slowly over the mountain peaks

Icefield Parkway & Jasper National Park
