Canadian Rockies: Icefields Parkway

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRIVE IN THE WORLD!

* Take your time if you have all day to drive this road and allow for plenty of stops.

* It is best to start from the south end and drive north as the sunlight will be in the best position at all times. (Images here are also shown in geographical order from south to north.)

* If you have only one day and Jasper is not on your itinerary make sure you drive at least the first portion from Lake Louise to the Athabasca Glacier and back.

* There are very few people on this road in wintertime, yet if you just take your time and adjust your driving to the road conditions there is nothing to worry about.

* A helpful Parks Canada map can be found at http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/ab/jasper/visit/visit38.aspx
