Icefields Parkway

Glacier country between Lake Louise and Jasper, at its best once the campgrounds empty.

The Icefields Parkway runs between Lake Louise and Jasper through Banff and Jasper national parks. You need a national park pass to stop anywhere along it.

Services along the parkway are few and seasonal. Fill up before you leave either end, and check campground opening dates before planning a shoulder-season trip around them.
