Icefields Parkway (Highway 93)
Banff, Canada
Icefields Parkway, or Highway 93, is a 232-kilometre scenic drive that connects Jasper National Park and Banff National Park through the Canadian Rockies, renowned for its dramatic landscapes and glacial valleys. The route showcases turquoise lakes, glaciers, and jagged peaks, with key stops like the Athabasca Falls and the Columbia Icefield providing striking views and ample photo opportunities.
Plan a day to fully appreciate the drive, especially if you intend to hike along the way. Summer attracts the most visitors, yet autumn offers a quieter experience with stunning fall colours. Keep an eye out for wildlife; bears and elk are commonly spotted along the highway.

“I had previously booked another tour for Banff but decided to add this one because it seemed to feature more lakes. Who would find The Rockies dull to see twice? Our guide was fantastic and even spotted some mountain goats, stopping for us to admire them from afar. I appreciated that we visited Lake Louise early, making our hike to the viewing platform comfortable. We explored numerous lakes, many from unique angles compared to the other tour, which was enjoyable. The guide also led us on a short hike to a fantastic viewpoint that was less known to other tourists, providing a more secluded experience. It was a wonderful trip, and I'm glad I joined! A confirmation text a day or two in advance would be helpful, as I had to reach out myself for details.”— Agdjdijehudhdu on the Full-day tour of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake via Icefields Parkway tour
