Exploring The Stunning Icefields Parkway In Banff: A Must-see Adventure!

Stretching 143 miles (230 km) from the Trans-Canada Highway to Jasper in the North. As you drive along one of the most picturesque highways in the world, you feel as if you are traveling along the path of ice giants. The smooth slopes were slowly carved out by the glaciers over thousands and thousands of years. You can still see about 100 of these glaciers along the way from Banff to Jasper, but for today I'll just discuss some of the best of the Icefields Parkway stops from Banff to Jasper.

Please keep in mind that there aren't any gas stations along the route between Banff and Jasper so make sure you have a full tank when starting the journey. There are also very few rest stops along the way as well to use the restroom, so be careful how much coffee or water you drink. I'll mention a few that are available and the best spots on the parkway to stop for lunch as well.
