                                     Cool or crazy? The Republic of Palau's most famous dive site (sorry, snorkeling only) is Jellyfish Lake (Ongeim’l Tketau). It has millions of golden jellyfish. No worries, though, this species of jellyfish do not sting! Eil Malk Island in Palau is part of the Rock Islands. Swimming with the jellyfish was prohibited previously until this year (2019) because of a decline in their population but now their numbers are up and swimming is allowed once again. If the thought of swimming with jellyfish scares you, you can also see the amazing Ngardmau Falls, visit mysterious monoliths, or swim in the Milky Way Lagoon where visitors are known to cover their face and body with soft white mud. Supposedly it has curative powers but I'm sure it also feels amazing!

      In Kootenay National Park, you'll be able to see glacier-peaked mountains to grasslands with desert cacti. Located in southeastern British Columbia, Canada, this park is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. You'll see icy mountain rivers, meadows and lakes, but make sure you also stop by the famously steamy, Radium Hot Springs.  New surprises are guaranteed to await you around every corner. Adventurers can spend the day exploring Sinclair Canyon, visiting cascading waterfalls, or backcountry trails, like the Numa Pass. Camping is available from May to September.  There's something for everyone.  If you prefer not to venture out, you can enjoy a beautiful, scenic drive of the Canadian Rockies!
