Alberta Part 2: Banff to the British Columbia Border (West of Jasper)
This leg of our journey takes us from Banff to the British Columbia border, just west of Jasper, following the iconic Icefields Parkway—a 232 km stretch of road often hailed as one of the most scenic drives in the world. Connecting Banff and Jasper through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, this route has earned a well-deserved spot on our list of the most beautiful journeys we’ve experienced across 144 countries. Along the way, we encountered turquoise, glacier-fed lakes, towering mountain peaks, world-class hiking trails, and breathtaking panoramic viewpoints that seemed to unfold around every corner.
