WA📍Icefields Parkway ⬇️
Stretching 232 km between Lake Louise and Jasper, this drive takes about 3 hours without stops… but trust me, you’ll want 4–6 hours (or more) to soak it all in.
Glaciers, turquoise lakes, waterfalls & endless mountain peaks, wildlife sightings and views that look straight out of a movie…
🗺️ Here are some of my favourite stops between Banff and Jasper:
– Vermilion Lakes
– Backswamp Viewpoint
– Hillsdale Meadow Viewpoint
– Morant’s Curve
– Lake Louise
– Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint
– Bow Lake Viewpoint
– Peyto Lake Viewpoint
– Mt Patterson / Snowbird Glacier Viewpoint
– Waterfowl Lakes Viewpoint
– Howse Pass Viewpoint
– Weeping Wall Viewpoint
– Panther Falls
– Athabasca Glacier
– Sunwapta Falls
– Goats & Glacier Lookout
– Athabasca Falls
– Athabasca Pass Lookout
Important road trip tip ⛽️
There are very limited gas stations along the route, mainly at Lake Louise, Saskatchewan River Crossing, and Jasper. Fill up before you go. Cell service is spotty too, so download maps offline.
This drive isn’t just a road… it’s an experience 💙
