Summer is one of the most nostalgic, reflective times of the year. When the sun comes out, we all get thrown back into our childhoods, jumping through the sprinkler, smelling burgers on the BBQ, packing up the minivan for family camping trips, and jumping into any body of water we can find. Sadly, adulthood doesn’t exactly carry the same amount of carefree, no school energy, so we need to work a little harder to emulate those feelings.

 

There is nothing better than plunging into crisp alpine water on a hot summer day in Alberta, and it’s even more rewarding if that comes after a little bit of a hike. Today, we want to share one of our favourite spots with you. This place is nothing short of enchanting. Vibrant turquoise water, tree-lined shores, rugged cliffs, and stunning mountains on all sides. Known for the scenic views, refreshing swimming, and cliff jumping, Jasper National Park's Horseshoe Lake is the perfect place to plunge back into the endless summers we all know and miss so dearly.
