The Old Spaghetti Factory (Downtown Edmonton)

The manager Kelvin and the server Kyle provided us with excellent food and met all our needs. Although the food is from a chain, the taste is not bad and the service is good. I highly recommend this restaurant

#GlobalAutumnPlanning #PlayOutdoors #CanadaTravelStrategy After visiting Banff in July, I took advantage of the holiday to visit Jasper. Of the two national parks, I prefer Jasper. I personally feel that the scenery in Jasper is more wild and natural, while Banff is a bit commercialized. The three-day and two-night itinerary was not much different from the plan, and I was lucky to see the different faces of Jasper, in the mist☁️, on sunny days☀️, and in the rain☔️. I will briefly share my itinerary. You don’t have to get up early➕ You don’t have to rush➕ You can definitely save money BUT you can also visit most of the attractions. Day 1⃣️ 🌧️ ✈️10:00am to Edmonton Afternoon: Because of the rain, I didn’t go into the park. I chose to spend an afternoon shopping in the West Edmonton Mall. It is said to be the second largest mall in North America. In the final analysis, the 5% tax is more attractive. 🍜old spaghetti factory is affordable and delicious👍 Departed to Hinton at 3:00pm Checked in at 6:00pm and had Korean food in Hinton, which was very average👎 Day 2⃣️ ☁️ Icefield Adventure Morning: Talbot Lake, Jasper Lake Sand Dunes, Emerald Pond These are the first three attractions after entering the park. You can park on the roadside. If you live in Hinton, you can pass by every time you go back and forth. You can arrange it according to your time. Jasper Lake Sand Dunes is the most recommended. It is very vast and beautiful. You can walk on the beach~ Afternoon: Athabasca Glacier (1.5h) Icefield adventure, take a snowmobile to experience the icefield up close, it is worth experiencing. Columbia Icefield Skywalk (0.5h) In comparison, the Skywalk is very mediocre. Since it is included in the Pursuit Pass, I still went there. For details, please see the next guide~ Sunwapta Falls ➕ Athabasca Falls On the way back, we drove along the Icefield Parkway and passed two waterfalls. The former is bigger and more turbulent~ 🍜The Raven Bistro Mediterranean cuisine, very delicious👍Reservation is recommended Day 3⃣️ ☀️Take a boat🚢 to Spirit Island Morning: Malign Lake Cruise Tour (1.5h) The cruise to Spirit Island is highly recommended, especially on sunny days, the lake is sparkling like a fairyland, and Spirit Island is like a secret place isolated from the world, with pristine beauty! The tour guide's explanation is also very good, which will add fun to the journey~ Afternoon: Medicine Lake, Maligne Canyon (1h) Medicine Lake is highly recommended. Unlike other lakes, its water comes from the Cave system, so the scenery is very unique. There are 6 bridges in Maligne Canyon. The first four are very close and can be walked in half an hour. I didn't go to the last two because I didn't have time. They are also worth checking in. 🍜Canadian Steakout Grill & Lounge is affordable but the taste is average Evening: 4h🚗Edmonton ✈️11:00pm back to Vancouver Tips: 1. It is easy to fog before 8 am and after sunset, 🚗pay attention 2. It will be completely dark half an hour after sunset. There are no street lights in Jasper Park and few cars, like Silent Hill. It is recommended to watch the sunset on the way back and arrange the time 3. You may encounter animals between attractions. You can leave 10 minutes more. If you book a ticket, everyone will stop to see the animals on the road with animals 4. It is recommended to prepare a box of water in the car 5. There is no Internet in the park, download the offline map in advance 6. It is not recommended to take the skytram or boat curise on foggy and rainy days, check the weather in advance
