Icefields Parkway

The Icefields Pkwy is often referred to locally as the ‘world’s most spectacular road,’ and it’s tough to argue. Stretching for 230km north from Lake Louise all the way to Jasper, the parkway climbs through an amazingly diverse range of Rocky Mountain scenery, from surging rivers and high-alpine glaciers to mountain passes and brilliant blue lakes.
