While in Banff, make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below. Here is The Pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.
Best time to visit is during the off-season, from early May to mid-June, or in October. This way you can avoid sharing the highway with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. But whatever the season, take some lunch with you from Banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.
Forty minutes north of Banff, side by side with the Banff National Park, sits world-famous Lake Louise. This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. Glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.
Back on the road, and it’s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier. You can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. Either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.
Finally you’ll reach Jasper, the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It’s worth riding the Jasper Skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. If you can have lunch there, do it. The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor’s face.

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 16 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 17 we realized we were 18 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so 19 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 20 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 21 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About half way through the meal, I 22 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just 23 out, and nobody had noticed, I felt terrible.
My conscience( 良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 24 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 25 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I 26 to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream for 27 that someone would say, “ Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 28 the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so 29 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 30 of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “ Don’t think about it...”
I have learned two things from this 31 . Maybe I was a fool for 32 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 33 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience 34 up with you.
This reflect the saying, “ A coward(懦夫) dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “ 35 ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
