Candle Ice Season Is Undeniably Spectacular In The Canadian Rockies 🧊✨

For a short window each spring, frozen lakes begin to transform into shimmering, crystal-like formations that look straight out of a dream. The candle ice doesn’t last through the summer, but the beautiful lakes do. Planning to paddle this season? A few simple steps help keep Alberta’s lakes wild and beautiful: 🌊 Wear your life jacket 🚿 Clean, Drain, Dry your gear 🦪 Complete your AIS self-certification permit before launching And before heading out, be sure to check current Parks Canada regulations, as some lakes have restrictions in place to help protect sensitive ecosystems from aquatic invasive species. A little preparation goes a long way toward protecting the places we all love to explore 💙 📍Upper Kananaskis Lake, Alberta 📹 by i_luvbanff #ExploreAlberta #ExploreCanada
