Everything you need to plan your Icefields Parkway trip, in one place.
About the Route
The Icefields Parkway runs 232 kilometres through the heart of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, connecting Lake Louise in Banff National Park to the town of Jasper in Jasper National Park. It is one of the most celebrated scenic drives in the world, and for good reason. Ancient glaciers, turquoise lakes, cascading waterfalls, sweeping valleys, and some of the most dramatic mountain scenery on the planet line every kilometre of the route.
