There are too many large and small lakes in Banff National Park, so Wuyao Lake looks very general. It is necessary to go to Marin Lake to see it. There are not many characteristics. There are not many tourists. Almost all pass by.

    The river water of Wuyao Lake, which went to October, was almost dry. It was a shallow and shallow water, not far from the Marin Canyon, and it felt like a mountain. There is a sign next to it with some introductions.

    On the way from Jasbai to Maling Lake, first of all, you will pass through a relatively large lake. There is a wooden plank road to the lake. This is the medicine lake, and there is another name called Wuyao Lake. Almost round,

    When you go to Marin Canyon, you can pass this lake. If you want to go, set it on the GPS, because there is no particularly obvious sign on the road, it is easy to pass by and miss. At dusk, the sun shines on the lake and sparkles.

    Wuyao Lake (Medicine Lake), also known as the Magic Lake, is the most "mysterious" lake in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Every autumn, the Marin River disappears as it flows through here, reappears in the Marin Canyon 17 kilometers away, and Wuyao Lake itself disappears completely in late autumn, and will not reappear until the summer of the following year. The Indians could not explain this phenomenon, thinking that it was a witch doctor spell (big medicine), so the lake was named. In fact, the real reason for the lake's disappearance was that when the orogeny quickly lifted up the Rocky Mountain, the valley formation had cracked and expanded under erosion of the river, forming an underground undercurrent. In summer, the glacier melted more than the water from the underground rivers, and the lake was filled; the amount of snow dissolved began to decrease in August, and the water level began to decline until the entire lake disappeared in winter. This phenomenon is a very rare feature of Karst's terrain and is one of the reasons why UNESCO has designated it as a World Heritage Site in Rocky Mountain. The early morning Medicine Lake is very quiet. There is no water amusement project here. The surrounding area is full of dead branches after the wildfire, with a slightly gloomy mystery. The dumping trees gradually become humus, becoming the nutrition of the new machine, and completing the cycle of nature.

    The lake that must be visited must be more famous than the lakes that are not working, but the scenery is not inferior, that is, after taking the mobile phone, you can directly make the background! ! The medical lake is said to disappear in winter, it is difficult to imagine that such a big lake will disappear in winter. [Photograph without any ps directly on the iPhone]
