"The Icefields Parkway is one of the world’s most scenic drives, offering up everything from ancient glaciers and turquoise lakes to mountain-framed valleys and raging waterfalls. If there ever was a road trip that is more about the journey than the destination, it is the Icefields Parkway drive. In only 233 kilometres, you’ll experience what feels like an endless amount of stunning natural wonders as you drive the Icefields Parkway through the heart of Banff and Jasper national parks." Park Pass: You will need to purchase a park pass to drive the Icefields Parkway, since it goes through two national parks. You can buy one at the entrances to Banff and Jasper national parks, as well as at the two booths on the Icefields Parkway (just outside of Lake Louise and the Jasper townsite). Best to start this road trip with a full tank of gas since there is only one gas station on the Icefields Parkway (at Saskatchewan Crossing, which is 80 km from Lake Louise and 153 km from Jasper). Prices are usually higher here than in Lake Louise or Jasper. Information sourced from: - Adventure Alberta - https://adventurealberta.ca/ - The Banff Blog - thebanffblog.com

Alberta is a beautiful province with stunning landscapes and plenty of outdoor activities. Here's a 4-day itinerary to explore Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff, Canmore, and Calgary. Alberta is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, so be sure to make time for hiking, wildlife viewing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

So, you're going to the Canadian Rockies? After living in Montana for many years, I knew and expected the terrain to be quite similar. I was in for quite the surprise when this area of Canada turned out to be one of the most beautiful places I've EVER visited. Below you'll find my favorite stops (separated by location) that we found along the way from Edmonton to Calgary (and a few stops over in BC!), along with tips on the area and an interactive map. I've included the hotels used personally, as well as some additional top rated stays at several price points. I've also included some stops that we didn't make it to this first time around, but we will definitely be heading back for them! Quick Disclaimer: Respect nature and wildlife. Wildlife is WILD and nature is natural. Treat them as such. Leave no trace when outdoors, and respect wildlife by giving them space. Locations included: 🏔️ Edmonton 🏔️ Jasper National Park 🏔️ Banff National Park 🏔️ Banff, Alberta (town) 🏔️ Lake Louise (town) 🏔️ Canmore, Alberta 🏔️ Calgary, Alberta I've added quite a few hotel options, as they all book up extremely quickly and are not cheap. I did highlight the ones we stayed at as well as provided descriptions of those! Pssst. Above is the exact route we drove also! We drove up from Montana, but flying in to Edmonton and renting a car or RV to drive this itinerary down through to Calgary is an awesome option. If you wish to continue this trip further like we did, drive down to Yoho and Kootenay National Parks in BC and Glacier National Park in Montana from Calgary! I have a separate guide for Glacier, but highly recommend if you have the time! I have listed a variety of different things from nature and hiking to food and craft beer to a few select "other" options (that don't involve hiking). However, this guide primarily focuses on the true beauty of nature in Canada. You won't run out of options! We found the Parks in Canada to be extremely accessible, dog friendly, and overall pretty clean. The red Adirondack chairs were the coolest thing, and I'm not going to explain that... You'll see what I mean.

This Ultimate Banff/Jasper/Yoho Guide is from hours and hours of research from my first visit back in the fall of 2021. We learned a lot and I tweaked some things on this itinerary versus our original one. The best part is I am going back this September again so I should have a lot more to add after that trip! This guide is best for the summer and fall months in the Banff area. We camped almost our whole first trip, but this guide has options for camping and hotels.
