I visited the three most popular online-famous scenic spots in the Rocky Mountains this year with my friends, which are "two ice caves and one arch": the two blue ice caves under the Stutfield Glacier and the glacial arch under the Dome Glacier. For nearly a decade in the past, every time I led guests past here, I could see these two huge glaciers from the viewing platform. At first, I just wanted to go to one ice cave and come back, but unexpectedly, wearing big snowshoes, I actually walked 13 kilometers on the snowy road. It was already past six o'clock when I reached the Trail head below the Dome Glacier. At that time, since I thought the Dome Glacier was only 4.5 kilometers away, I decided to keep going. However, I overestimated my physical strength and was exhausted. For the first time, I had the urge to throw away my backpack and camera. In total, I hiked more than 17 kilometers in the two glacial areas, both on the way there and back.
