A 232 km road through the Rockies between Lake Louise and Jasper, past more than 100 glaciers, turquoise lakes such as Peyto and Bow, and waterfalls. At the Columbia Icefield, walk towards the Athabasca Glacier or take a tour onto it.


There's no mobile signal and little fuel along the way. Watch for bears, elk and mountain goats. A park pass is required.
