Banff National Park is Canada's oldest and most famous national park. A view of wetland areas in the Bow River watershed on the way to Sundance Canyon . The Ink Pots, as it is called, is a warm, shallow water pond which does not freeze during the winter. Gas continuously bubbles up to the surface which gives the water its unique colouring. Johnson's Canyon is located between Lake Louise and Banff National Park.
Ptarmigan Lake is located just at the tree line of the Rockies.
In the winter the surface of lake has a thin sheen of ice on the top, which creates musical sounds when a flat stone is slid across it. It is also where you can find the ptarmigan grouse, it changes colour depending on the season. In the winter it is white, camouflaged by the snow for protection from its predators.
