Lake Louise to Jasper

Probably one of the most spectacular drives in the Rockies. The Icefields Parkway travels past several lakes and some massive glaciers, including the Columbia Icefield which covers an area of about 325 sq kms. We were able to see pasrts of it as it hadn't snowed for a while and the ice was visible


The mountains were majestic and towered over everything, the road very icy and slippery, although everyone travels along st a rate of knots, and as it was a 3 hour journey it was just on dark as we arrived into Jasper to the Fairmont Jasper Lodge.

The waterfalls and ice formations were amazing and we spent the whole journey mesmerised.
