We travelled onto the icefields in a snow bus and had time treking on the glacier. Our bus driver was Sami ( a Japanese tour guide) and he was the most entertaining guide you can imagine, It was very safe and comfortable in the snow bus.

Almost every meter of this 230-km parkway segment of Alberta 93 is absolutely gorgeous. It links Lake Louise and Jasper. You’ll need a valid national parks permit to drive it. A one-way trip can take 6 hours with rest breaks, vista stops, and slow caravan queues. You’ll find many tempting pullovers and turnouts along the way – most are clearly... More

The Canadian Rockies are not the same as the beautiful American Rockies. Although not as high, they appear so since the base elevations are lower. From Glacier National Park north, there are numerous glaciers, even though earlier visitors have remarked upon the rate of melting. We traveled in early April and even though Lake Louise (at the southern end of... More

Just do it, we couldn't get enough and it was amazing. Try to go on a clear day so you can see everything. Plenty of hikes and views from this route.

Don't expect to be able to drive at or above the speed limit as the road conditions WILL affect your travel time - because... More

What a drive. The views on this stretch of highway are stunning. We were there in June so the weather was still a bit cool so wrap up warm.

Made the cross through here in November a few years ago - and it was bitter cold. Again now in April. Roads were clear and trees were sprinkled with snow (but not completely covered like in early Winter, but, it's a great ride for sight seeing. Weather from Banff to the icefields dropped by about 10 degrees C. So, bundle... More

The road passes through remote, high elevation teraine and scenery that literally takes your breath away. The drive is a spectacular 230 km and connects beautiful lake Louis with Jasper. The route traces the Continental Divide and showcases hundreds of glaciers on rugged peaks.
