<p>If you were in Banff National Park recently, you may have rubbed shoulders with Canadian icon Justin Bieber, who recently shared photos of his trip to Alberta.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Daisies&#8221; singer posted to his Instagram over the Thanksgiving long weekend photos of himself and his wife, supermodel Hailey Bieber, enjoying the sights of the <a href="https://dailyhive.com/calgary/banff-lake-louise-december-top-travel" target="_blank">iconic Lake Louise</a>.</p>
<p>Bieber also seemed to have caught a glimpse of some of the wildlife <a href="https://dailyhive.com/calgary/alberta-spot-most-picturesque-worldwide" target="_blank">Banff National Park</a> has to offer, posting a video of a lynx roaming around in the wilderness.</p>

<p>The star also posted photos and a video of himself singing in what appears to be the prestigious <a href="https://dailyhive.com/calgary/best-hotel-suite-alberta-chateau-lake-louise" target="_blank">Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise</a>, situated right near the lake&#8217;s shores.</p>
