The Icefields Parkway, also known as Highway 93, is one of the most scenic drives in the world, stretching about 230 kilometers (143 miles) between Jasper and Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada. Starting in Jasper National Park, the route winds through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, offering breathtaking views of towering peaks, glaciers, turquoise lakes and vast forests.
Along the way, you’ll pass landmarks like the Athabasca Glacier, Sunwapta Falls and the Columbia Icefield. The parkway is open year-round, though conditions can be challenging in winter. It’s a must-see for road trippers, nature lovers and photographers looking to experience the raw beauty of the Canadian wilderness.
