Jasper SkyTram (pass by)

Coming up soon is the Jasper SkyTram, the highest and longest aerial tramway in Canada. The views from the top are simply unbeatable. In the 1940s, Whistler Mountain had already become a major magnet for skiers. Fans of the winter sport congregated on the perfect slopes every year to race each other down. But once at the bottom, they only had a limp tow rope to usher them up the mountain again. Because of the difficulty of the ascent, they never went all the way up the mountain!

Valley of the Five Lakes Trailhead

Up ahead is the Valley of the Five Lakes Trailhead. The 3-mile moderately challenging hike takes about an hour and a half to complete and rewards hikers with some amazing scenery. The trail weaves past five pristine lakes. The lakes and ponds in Jasper and Banff are unlike those found anywhere else. That’s because of their unbelievable turquoise and blue hues that seem like something out of a heavily photoshopped postcard. But it’s real! And we have glaciers to thank.

Athabasca Pass Lookout

Right around the bend is the Athabasca Pass Lookout, one of the best viewpoints at this part of the Parkway. From here, you’ll get a great look at the South Jasper Mountain Range. The most prominent peak, which will be dead ahead from the perspective of the lookout, is Mount Edith Cavell, standing 11,033 feet in height.

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Athabasca Falls

Coming up ahead is Athabasca Falls, a 75-foot waterfall plunging into a canyon. During the last Ice Age over 100,000 years ago, a glacier in this region receded enough to allow the Athabasca River to flow freely through the pass. The pass eventually deepened and widened, becoming the canyon it is today.

Mount Kerkeslin

That towering peak off to our left is Mount Kerkeslin, which stands at 9,790 feet. This is the highest peak in the Maligne Range, and posed a real challenge for early explorers of this region.

Goats & Glacier Lookout

This vista overlooks the Athabasca River and Fryatt Mountain Range. Glaciers can be seen high up on those mountains, but where do the goats come in? Well, the cliff on which this overlook is perched is dense in all kinds of minerals, including salt. And mountain goats just can’t get enough of the stuff! Visitors often see them wandering up here, licking away at the rocks!

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Mount Christie

The peak directly to our right, just before that mountain pass, is Mount Christie. It stands just over 10,180 feet tall. The peak gets its name from James Hector, the explorer who also named Mount Kerkeslin. Hector named the mountain after a man who hosted him during his expedition across the Rockies: William Joseph Christie.

Honeymoon Lake

This romantically-titled body of water offers a lovely view of reflected mountains in the Maligne Range. You might even see some folks paddling canoes on the water.

Sunwapta Falls

The trail for Sunwapta Falls is coming up soon. This easy 2-mile trail takes just over an hour and features a great view of a wilderness waterfall. Fed by the Athabasca Glacier, Sunwapta Falls plummets 60 feet over the cliff edge. Sunwapta is the Stoney-Nakoda word for “turbulent water,” which makes sense when you see the falls!

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Endless Chain Ridge

That ridge up ahead and slightly to our left is the Endless Chain Ridge. Spanning more than 9,000 feet, this ridge is a collection of craggy peaks forged in the Jurassic period, about 200 million years ago. Volcanic pressure beneath the earth’s crust forced this rock upward about 75 million years ago, forming the ridge we see today.

Poboktan creek trail parking

In a moment, we’ll see parking for the Poboktan Creek Trail, though we probably won’t want to hike it ourselves. Why’s that, you ask? Because it’s 24 miles long and takes an average of four days to complete!

Alberta 93

In just a minute, we’re going to pass an attraction that… doesn’t look much like an attraction. In fact, it just looks like a pile of rocks! But this pile of rocks tells a fascinating story about the history of this landscape.

Beauty Creek

We’re driving alongside Beauty Creek, a pure and clear glacial lake fed by meltwater. If one were to follow this creek a couple of miles into the wilderness, they’d arrive at Stanley Falls!, which plunges 40 feet into a blue pool below. Seven other cascades lead to Stanley Falls, and feature something very peculiar that doesn’t happen in many places. In colder months, these waterfalls don’t just dry up. Instead, they become sheer sheets of ice!

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stutfield Glacier Viewpoint

Coming up is the Stutfield Glacier Viewpoint, where we can see a huge glacier directly from the parkway! The icy giant stretches 3,000 feet over the cliff face, where you can glimpse a set of double icefalls. These are places where the glacial bed steepens and the ice flows faster than in other areas. In turn, they create deep crevasses that pose a major hazard for climbers.

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Tangle Creek Falls, AB

Just ahead is Tangle Creek Falls, a magnificent 90-foot cascade alongside the parkway. With its spray dampening the road, the waterfall is impossible to miss! Mary Schäffer Warren, the same woman who named Endless Chain Ridge, also gave Tangle Creek its name! But the eager mountaineer-turned-surveyor rarely traveled alone. Many of her journeys were guided by Samson Beaver, a Stoney-Nakoda man.

Columbia Icefield Skywalk (pass by)

Have you ever wanted to walk on air? The Columbia Icefield Skywalk offers that sensation. It’s a walking trail with a glass floor that snakes along the cliffside. The clear structure juts out 100 feet across the Sunwapta Valley. If you don’t mind heights, you can look down past your shoes at the snowy expanse more than 900 feet below.
Read more

Mount Kitchener

See the tallest peak off to our right? That’s Mount Kitchener, standing at 11,499 feet. It gets its name from Horatio Kitchener, a British Earl who served as an officer during the first World War. Kitchener died in 1916 when his ship struck a mine and sank en route to Russia. As soon as word of his death reached Canada, officials renamed this mountain in his honor.

Toe of the Athabasca Glacier Trailhead

If you want an up-close-and-personal look at the glaciers I’ve been talking about, this is a must-do. At just over one mile, this moderate hike offers some of the best views of the Athabasca Glacier, one of the most noteworthy in the Columbia Icefield.

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Wilcox Pass Trailhead

Just ahead is the Wilcox Pass Trail. This challenging 7-mile hike isn’t for the faint of heart. But don’t worry if you’re not up for the whole thing! Most visitors opt to hike a little over a mile to reach a fantastic viewpoint before turning back. That viewpoint overlooks a unique geographical feature at the crossroads of Jasper and Banff: Mount Snow Dome.

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Parker Ridge Trail

The Parker Ridge Trail is coming up momentarily. It leads to a 4-mile hike for those seeking a challenging route. You’ll need to set aside a little over two hours to experience the alpine meadows and panoramic views. It also features glimpses of the Columbia Icefield and fresh perspective on the famous turquoise lakes in the area.
Read more

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Panther Falls

Coming up next is Panther Falls. An easy 1.5-mile hike through the forest leads to this 210-foot cascade. It only takes about 30 minutes and is well worth the trek! If you want to keep going, you can hike another mile to Bridal Veil, which is five times the size of Panther Falls! It’s a two-for-one waterfall extravaganza!
Read more

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Weeping Wall viewpoint

Just ahead is the Weeping Wall Viewpoint, a set of 900-foot high cliffs. The Weeping Wall is almost like a part-time waterfall. Under just the right conditions the cliffside begins to weep—or leak water. The will-it-or-won’t-it fall dynamic comes from the natural springs at the top, which may either swell or trickle depending on the time of year.

Mount Coleman

The peak off to our left is Mount Coleman, standing at an impressive 10,285 feet. But if you asked early explorers, this wasn’t even close to the tallest peak in the region.

HI Rampart Creek Wilderness Hostel (pass by)

We’re about to pass the HI Rampart Creek Wilderness Hostel. This humble lodging dates back to a big change in tourism that started unfolding almost 100 years ago.

Saskatchewan River Crossing

Long before the Icefields Parkway existed, crossing the river looked a little different. Imagine a long plank of wood drifting across the river. A horse and carriage rest on the surface, waiting to be directed to the other side. The year is 1882 and the man behind the operation is the well-liked John Walter.

Coming up ahead is the Mistaya Canyon Trailhead. This moderate, 1.5-mile hike takes about 40 minutes and leads to the bottom of the deep gorge flowing with water.

Mount Chephren

Its 10,715-foot peak brushes the sky and provides pro-climbers with an extreme challenge. Due its angular slopes, Chepren originally bore the name Pyramid Mountain. But another summit in the area already had the same title, so the park settled for christening it after an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh. Specifically, a ruler responsible for the second largest pyramid in Giza! Certainly a fitting name for the mountain.

Waterfowl Lake Viewpoint

It’s impossible to miss the gorgeous Waterfowl Lake coming up ahead, as well as the viewpoint overlooking it. Hip to hip with the parkway, you won’t even need to leave your car to glimpse this emerald body of water. Lakes like this one became hotspots for a countercultural movement sweeping across the country in the 1960s. They were the hippies!

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Mt Patterson Glacier

Off to our right stands Mount Patterson, home to one of the park’s many glaciers. This is the Snowbird Glacier. It gets its name from the way it flows down Mount Patterson. Doesn’t it look a little like the glacier has outstretched wings?

5 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Peyto Lake

Off to our right is Peyto Lake. The glacier-fed body of water promises a bright turquoise color in the foothills of the Waputik Range. If you’d like to visit the lake, keep an eye out for the side road coming up in just a minute. It leads to an overlook above the lake and a 2-mile trail around the lake’s circumference.

Bow Lake

We’re now approaching Bow Lake. Its stunning blue waters reflect the craggy rocks of Mount Jimmy Simpson, looming directly to our right. The mountain gets its name from an English immigrant of the same name.

Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint

Coming up in a moment is the Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint. The massive block of ice is still inspiring, despite all it's been through… The glacier has been receding since the Ice Age and has lost one of three lobes. Those lobes, or protruding thumbs of ice, once made the ice chunk look like a crow’s foot.
