We’re calling this one The Grand Slam because you’re truly hitting it out of the park with this bucket-list Canadian Rockies adventure! This 10-day road trip loops through some of the most breathtaking mountain scenery in North America, with a mix of iconic destinations and lesser-known gems.

The Icefields Parkway is one of the most beautiful drives in the world, connecting Lake Louise in Banff National Park to Jasper in Jasper National Park. This is a drive meant for stopping often and taking in the scenery, whether you have a few hours or a few days to explore.

Most places require miles of hiking or off-road driving to reach views even a fraction of this picturesque. But in the Canadian Rockies, the views are everywhere. When I say this is one of the dreamiest road trips, here’s what I mean…

The vibrancy of Lake Louise is even more striking from this skyline summit, where its creamy turquoise waters pop against the gray haze of the sky and the iconic Fairmont Chateau. But first, we have to earn this epic view!

Today officially begins our adventure along Highway 93 as we drive from Lake Louise to Jasper, a route often celebrated as one of the world’s ultimate road trips. An abundance of beauty makes the Canadian Rockies so magical—and this drive is about to take our breath away in more ways than one!

The Icefields Parkway is named after the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest accumulations of ice and snow south of the Arctic Circle. This massive icefield is the largest icefield in the Rocky Mountains and a must-stop on our road trip.

Athabasca Falls is our final stop along the Parkway before we reach Jasper. Known for its picturesque setting and the force of the plunging Athabasca River, the raw beauty and power of Athabasca Falls make it an incredible roadside stop.

As we refuel with comfort food after a peaceful morning in this charming, laid-back town, there’s zero doubt in either of our minds… We’re falling more in love with Jasper with every second (and every bite 😋)!

Our 2023 Travel Season was one for the books, covering 6400 miles (just counting mileage between stops), 11 US national parks and 5 CA national parks, and 30 different towns and cities we called home for anywhere from 1 to 21 nights.
