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.

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 😋)!
