Driving in Western Canada
Western Canada has some of the most iconic scenery in the whole country. It's here that you'll find the Canadian Rocky Mountains. They run through Banff and Jasper National Parks in the province of Alberta, and down into the province of British Columbia in areas like Revelstoke and Yoho National Park. Western Canada is also home to Whistler in the Coast Mountains and Vancouver on the Pacific Coast.
Driving in Eastern Canada
Eastern Canada is the portion of Canada that sits on the Atlantic Ocean. It covers some incredibly varied regions, from the province of Ontario on the shores of one of America's Great Lakes to the Maritime Provinces like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Eastern Canada is home to cosmopolitan cities like the country's largest city, Toronto, as well as its capital, Ottawa. The most famous attraction here is Niagara Falls.

The Icefields Parkway
This section of Highway 93 between Lake Louise and Jasper is the most beautiful drive in the Canadian Rockies. Its 143 miles could be completed in a few hours, but you should allow a full day for all the scenic stop-offs. Peyto Lake is one of the best examples of a turquoise glacier lake, while the Athabasca Glacier ice truck tour is a must-do.
Beyond these two iconic attractions, the Icefields Parkway is dotted with numerous scenic pull-outs and viewpoints, where you can pause to admire the ever-changing landscape. Explore the Mistaya Canyon, a narrow gorge carved by the waters of the Mistaya River, or hike to the top of Sunwapta Falls, where the thunderous waters plunge into a deep canyon. The parkway also offers opportunities for wildlife encounters, with bears, elk, and other creatures often spotted along the roadside.
The Icefields Parkway is not just a scenic drive; it's a journey through time. The glaciers, the towering peaks, the ancient forests, and the diverse wildlife all tell a story of the earth's changing landscapes over millions of years. With each twist and turn of the road, you'll discover new vistas, new perspectives, and a deeper appreciation for the natural wonders that surround you.
