More than 100metres high (330 feet) water streams down Cirrus Mountain in rivers of tears. Lake Louise Lake Louise may be the most photographed lake in the world. While the canoes sleep for the night, light rain dances on the turquoise waters. Bow Lake Bow Lake is a perfect picnic area to stop for lunch. The headwaters of the Bow River that runs through the city of Calgary and eventually to Hudson Bay. Columbia Icefields Straddling Banff and Jasper National Parks, these fields of glaciers are the largest south of the Arctic Circle.

Endless Chain Ridge Endless Chain mountain ridge near Sunwapta Falls stretches some 32 kilometers (20 miles). Tangle Falls Jasper National Park Less falling down a cliff than cascading on steps, Tangle Falls tumbles near the roadway. Mt Chepran and Waterfowl Lakes In the Mistaya River Valley Mt. Chepran stands majestically. Considered a technical climb requiring crampons and an ice axe, therefore not a hike to be tackled without training and preparation. Mossy forest above Sunwapta Falls The mist rises into the mossy forest above Sunwapta Falls. Due to the river forcing it’s way through a tight canyon the roar of the water is deafening. Morraine Lake Morraine Lake nestled in the Valley of the Ten Peaks in Banff National Park. While only half the size of it’s glacial neighbor Lake Louise, it delivers on scenic beauty in a big way.

Rundle and Vermillion Lakes near Banff Outside of Banff, paralleling the highway, Mt Rundle often boasts its iconic reflection in Vermillion Lakes. This pristine gem is off of the main road. Mushroom and Diadem Peaks rest stop Braided waterways occur in rivers with high slope or large sediment. As a result small channels are separated by temporary islands. Mistaya Canyon The Mistaya River plunges into the narrow canyon. Due to the water grinding and dissolving the limestone rock, intricate swirling designs are left in the rock walls. Sunwapta Falls Icefields Parkway Saskatchewan River Crossing At Saskatchewan River Crossing three mighty rivers intersect; the North Saskatchewan, the Howse and the Mistaya. Especially relevant on this Canada road trip it is the only place for basic services including public bathrooms, gas station and a restaurant. Wildflowers waving greetings along the Icefields Parkway Athabasca Falls While Athabasca Falls is not the highest or widest in Jasper National Park it is the most powerful. Over 100 ancient glaciers to be seen on this Canada road trip. With snow capped peaks hovering above, this Canada road trip one feels as though they may be in Switzerland! Peyto Lake In summer when the flow of glacial flour into Peyto Lake is substantial, the tiny rock particles give the lake a bright turquoise colour. At the highest point on the Icefields Parkway Peyto is the crowning glory of beauty. Would you prefer to cycle or drive this great Canadian road trip? Check for tour dates and prices.
