"Dark Sky Perfection
Did you know Jasper is the second largest Dark Sky Preserve on Earth? When night falls, the universe puts on a show. Stars don't just twinkle here—they blaze across ink-black skies, unobscured by city lights."Iconic Waters
- Maligne Lake: Home to the legendary Spirit Island—one of the most photographed spots on the planet, and for good reason
- Athabasca Falls: Where glacier-fed water thunders through quartz-carved canyons
- Medicine Lake: A geological mystery where the lake disappears each fall, draining through underground caves
The Journey Itself
The Icefields Parkway—stretching 230 kilometers between Jasper and Lake Louise—is consistently ranked among the world's most spectacular drives. Every turn reveals another postcard.

The Scooby-Doo show.
S01:e02 - the Fiesta Host is an Aztec Ghost.
Time 18:00, they bounce moonlight off brass plates(?) to a symbol on a wall in a S. American style pyramid.
This was 1976 I think, and so before any Indiana Jones or likely any D&D modules used that trope. I wonder if some old book had the idea (I guess LotR has that secret entrance to Moria thing yeah, but no actual bouncing of light), but likely this Scooby episode influenced a bazillion other folks in modern times.
Pretty sure it shows up in Zelda games, lotsa D&D, Raiders of the Lost Ark, other movies, etc.

Quote
Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby discover a vacuum cleaner that blows out a smoke screen. When the smoke clears, the Stone Monster appears and chases them until they meet up with Fred, Daphne, and Velma. Suddenly, Katazuma arrives and locks our heroes in a room. Velma deciphers the hieroglyphics, discovering that the room is dedicated to the moon goddess. She learns that when moonlight shines on a specific inscription, a secret passage will be revealed. Using an array of reflectors, they guide the moonlight to the inscription, and a secret passageway is opened.

Much better. More realistic proportions (ok that just the beginning… then it got out of hand and back to crazy arms bigger than legs stuff). Bad guys are more serious and gritty. But why would they put a mustache on man-at-arms.
Here's some of the real original comics with man-at-arms hiding his face (no sign of a mustache), like I remember. Update: after looking further into it, they do eventually switch to the cartoon version of He-man, sadly the gritty version only lasted a short while:
