Successfully challenge the Jasper Blue Ice Cave! It's beautiful. It's so, so worth it!

Jasper National Park in Canada is home to stunning glacial landscapes, and one of its most famous attractions is the Jasper Blue Ice Cave. This ice cave was formed by melting glaciers and has spectacular ice sculptures, icicles and blue ice cubes inside. Friends entering this ice cave need to pay attention to safety, because the internal environment of the ice cave is complex and changeable, and there is potential danger.

To get to Jasper Blue Ice Cave, you first need to go to Jasper National Park in Canada. From major cities such as Calgary or Edmonton, the park can be reached by car or train. Once in the park, it is best to join an adventure tour organized by a local designated agency or guide. They usually provide professional guidance and equipment and ensure the safety of visitors. On your way to the ice cave, be sure to follow your guide's instructions and pay attention to safety warnings and road signs in the park.

It's a three-hour drive from Kaga. We leave at 7:00 and arrive at 10:00. It's called Saskatchewan Glacier, but you need to navigate to 52°10 '14.4 "N 117°04' 24.0" W to park. Yesterday the weather was very good, but all day, except for us, only three people took this route (when we parked there were already two cars parked there, it is recommended to come before 9 o 'clock) after getting off the car and following the footprints that have been stepped out, over a mountain, through a large plain, the footprints are still very obvious, follow the walk, the slope is very small, nothing difficult. After three hours of walking, I could not see a figure. I felt guilty and did not know whether the route was right. Fortunately, I met a person who returned and told us that we would soon reach the ice cave.

The round trip was nearly 20km, (I wrote 10km earlier, that was my mistake, I didn't notice we were recorded in miles, sorry) and it took seven hours. It is not as difficult as imagined, but it is not easy for children to stick to it, and the difficulty is not mainly that it takes a long time and requires endurance. I can't take two by myself, their father can only, because the father is more strict will urge them to stick to the snow is very deep, a deep foot shallow foot will be trapped in it, I also fell two big, need crampons and hiking poles. We all agreed that this was the best hike we've ever done!

Not afraid to wear thin clothes to climb more than 10 degrees below zero mountains (clothes should be the temperature can be worn on a thin layer), the result is more and more cold, cold to feel suffocated, the most heart is to buy shoes like summer wear, completely not suitable for this big snow mountain (shoes on the hole is too breathable), Finally, the feet are covered with mylar. But... The glaciers, blue ice, ice caves, snow mountains, sunshine gold mountain, snow, bubble lake all you see along the way are too beautiful, it is worth it to walk 18km.

I saw the video posted by my friends the day before yesterday, the ice cave has collapsed, there is still the danger of falling ice in the ice cave, please be careful ⚠️ in addition, there is no signal of the mobile phone there.
