THE ICEFIELDS PARKWAY WILL WOW YOU! 🇨🇦 Canadian Rocky Mountain Roadtrip Pt.2

The Icefields Parkway is 144 miles of PURE BEAUTY. If you're visiting Banff National Park, this is a scenic drive you absolutely can't miss! The Icefields parkway is not just a scenic drive. There are plenty of things to do in Banff and Jasper National Parks on this drive including hikes, kayaking, visiting glaciers, waterfalls, and canyons to name a few!

In this video, we show you where to stay and make 10 UNBELIEVABLE STOPS along the Icefields Parkway. Get ready to see the bluest lakes, misty waterfalls and icy glaciers. This video is one of our favorites! If you are planning a Canadian Rocky Mountain Road Trip, we hope you consider the stops we made in Part 1 and 2 of this series.

Before we get into it, there’s one thing we should clarify: Banff National Park is massive. The whole national park takes several hours to drive through point to point and it is broken up into 3 different sections: Banff/Banff town, Lake Louise, and the Icefields Parkway. It takes at least 45 minutes to get from Banff Town to lake Louise Village if you don’t make any stops along the way (you definitely should!)
