The Icefields parkway is certainly an exceptionally scenic drive, however almost all roads in the Rockies have areas of jaw-dropping beauty.

For a lunch stop Bow Lake is the perfect place for lakeside picnic and extremely photogenic. Allow bit of extra time to take look round Simpson's Num-ti-jah lodge which is packed with period furnishings and has a restaurant, cafe and tasteful gift shop.

Between Sunwapta falls and Athabasca falls keep an eye out for Goat lookout. There are salt licks at the side of the road and as a consequence the is a high probability of seeing mountain goats.


Other cars parked on the roadside are a good indication of their presence.

In the summer they look pretty scruffy as they are moulting but they will grow a beautiful white coat for the winter.

Icefields Parkway

I love the mountains, I adore them ... And especially seeing them dressed all in white. The Columbia Glacier is another must see in Canada. With a "bus" you can go up half of the lower glacier where you leave the vehicle in question and you start to walk (taking care, not beyond the cones that mark out the area) to see the wonder that you have around you, and the bad things we are doing to this planet destroying all this. Like the glacier which increasingly has less. I have spoken about the area that is most noticable, as the Columbia Icefield is a very extensive sea of ice that covers the tops

Of many mountains.
