Lined with over a hundred glaciers, breathtaking waterfalls, lush green pine and larch trees and mirror-like glacial lakes, Icefields Parkway is a wondrous experience you must add to your Banff things to see checklist. Connecting Banff National Park to the breathtaking Jasper National Park, this route is rightly considered one of the most scenic drives in the world. In winter, the parkway transforms into a winter wonderland giving you the impression of driving through Narnia. Be prepared to stop and capture photos of the native wildlife, including bears, bighorn sheep, and elk that thrive in the region.
