BEST STOPS on the ICEFIELDS PARKWAY from Jasper to Banff

What are the best things to see along the Icefields Parkway? Leaving Jasper southbound on the ICEFIELDS PARKWAY (Hwy 93 Alberta) we spend an entire day exploring some of the INCREDIBLE STOPS along this 232 km stretch of highway. The Icefields Parkway joins Jasper National Park to Banff National Park and starts and ends at the city of Jasper and the town of Lake Louise.

The Icefields Parkway is Canada’s most beautiful drive and definitely worth it. Add it to your Canada Rocky Mountain road trip bucket list - it’s a must-do! There are so many stops along the way it can be hard to choose which ones to stop at. In this RV Vlog we share the STOPS WE MADE along the Icefields Parkway to help others plan what they want to see along the Icefields Parkway.

Know before you go:
Wildlife - There are signs warning about wildlife all along the Icefields Parkway. If you are lucky you may see deer, moose, bears, elk, bighorn sheep, and other woodland creatures. These animals are generally more active at dawn and dust, so take care when driving at these times. Despite all the hype, we were only fortunate enough to see a couple of deer out for a morning stroll by the road. However, your experience may be very different. Never feed the wildlife because it puts them and people in danger.
Speed limit - the speed limit on this highway is 90 km/hr and for good reason. With all of the pullouts, chances of wildlife, and beautiful views there is no reason to go any faster. In fact, we putted along at about 75-80 km/hr most of the way. There was just so much to take in at every single turn.
RV friendly - Our convoy consisted of an SUV, one camper van, and a truck towing a travel trailer. We had no problems navigating in and out of the different pull-offs and parking lots at each of our stops. A lot of RV’s travel the Icefields Parkway every year and all of the stops we made are large enough and able to handle these types of vehicles.

So much beauty. That wind made me feel cold. Hard to believe the entire planet once was covered with ice.

[ChrisAndEmilie]

Looks amazing! We were fully expecting Jay to jump in that lake!

[ReadySetElement]

You guys are having so much fun it's so awesome to see all your guys adventures. Great views and amazing work with filming 😁

Such a great route! That falls is beautiful, guess Jay isn't jumping in that water! The canyons are picture perfect! " No goats, no glaciers, false advertising" 😂 yikes! Stanley Falls trail is not for the faint of heart! I can't believe in the glacier since I was last there..wow! Bow lake is beautiful, I'm glad Jay decided not to dip, we want to keep him around! Laughing so much at the scarf bloopers! Great video!

My wife and I did a road trip starting from Whistler to Revelstoke, Jasper, Banff and then back home to Whistler. The Athabasca Glacier was just so beautiful. This video brings back some great memories! Awesome video! :)

Loo with a view. 😂😂😂 Grandma and I watched this video together this afternoon. She talked about how much the glacier has receded since she was there. I think it was in the 1980s.

[WeretheRoberts]

it doesn't matter if it's a 50 feet or 100 feet cliff... falls from both would probably be about the same... haha Anything waterfalls is awesome by the way... I'm sure you guys already know that though... lol

Thanks for sharing, especially showing some evidence of climate change that can’t be denied. My only disappointment was being tricked into believing that Jay was going for a dip!
