(Alberta & British Colombia)
This route is packed with impressive natural sites. It is 236 km long and without stops the drive takes 2.5 hours. However, with short stops at the attractions listed below, the trip takes about 6-7 hours. Most attractions can be seen right next to main Highway No. 93 connecting Lake Louise to Jasper.
Around Jasper, there are several attractions including beautiful lakes, a glacier, rivers, a deep canyon, and a high cable car.
These two lakes in the Rocky Mountains are strikingly beautiful thanks to their color and the snow-capped mountains surrounding them.
In the Canadian Rocky Mountains, there is a variety of different lodging styles available: Hotels, bed & breakfasts, holiday apartments, and camping sites. Most of the hotels are pretty pricey (compared to standard hotel and motel prices in other areas in Canada and the US), and while camping is definitely an experience, it’s not for everyone (especially considering the fact that even in the height of summer it might rain heavily).
Banff National Park is one of the two largest and most popular parks in the Canadian Rockies: Banff in the south and Jasper in the north, both located in the province of Alberta. Banff National Park includes the scenic and touristy town of Banff, which offers a wealth of attractions and activities, as well as the spectacular lakes.
