Beyound all doubts, the Icefields parkway connecting Banff and Jasper national parks is the best scenic drive that I have driven so far.. for more reasons than one!! Herez a glimpse of the road alone .. all the lakes, waterfalls and wildlife u see as u drive the following posts..
Icefields parkway is a 230 km drive from lake Louise to the town of Jasper.. all along the road and on both sides of the road are glaciers or their remnants ... long long ago the whole place was covered by ice and now the glaciers have left behind an impressive footprint on the landscape, carving the hard rocks as they retreated and leaving behind steep topography... the glacial melts have formed a plethora of lakes.. of different colors and sizes all along the road ... and summer is the "cool"est time to visit the place coz thats when the wild life in the park can be spotted all along the road!
