This tourist is taking full advantage of the fresh snowfall in Banff National Park by making a snow angel in the untouched snow. In winter, Banff National Park is a popular place to enjoy all kinds of winter sports, but it can be a great place to enjoy the scenery and have some fun as well. This snow angel has actually been made on Waterfowl Lake and in the background, the tall imposing presence of Mount Chepren can be seen covered in snow and almost fading in to the sky. Banff National Park is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located along Icefields Parkway in Alberta.
