in our area.
We are entering a very exciting year for Ontario Parks. Last season we asked some 15,000 visitors in 45
parks how we could improve our programs and services. We also looked at the thousands of comment cards
we received. As a result, new comfort stations have been added, the number of campsites has been increased,
and we"ve made other facility (设施) improvements. In addition, we"ll be providing more educational programs.
This year, for example, more than 40 parks will offer special day and evening activities to excite your curiosity
about nature and history.
Through the Internet, you"ll be happy to know that you can now explore all 270 parks on line. Let your
family plan your park vacation, study a map of canoe routes, listen to the call of a loon or find up-to-date
information about programs, services and facilities.
So come and discover what Ontario Parks has to offer. Our parks are places to go with families and friends,
for relaxation and fun, or simply to get away from it all. They are places where we can enrich our souls and
"recharge our internal (内部的) batteries". They provide chances to explore nature, see wildlife, swim, canoe,
camp, hike, picnic, ride a bike… You"ll enjoy some of the best outdoor experiences available anywhere in the
world.

| 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 high way with mobile (移动的) 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. | ||||||||||||||||
