- Crowfoot Glacier - The Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint is a breathtaking stop along the Icefields Parkway, situated near Bow Lake. Originally resembling a crow’s foot with three distinct toes, the glacier has partially receded over time, yet it still provides a stunning backdrop against the rugged peaks of the Wapta Icefield. The viewpoint is conveniently accessible with roadside parking, making it an ideal spot to stretch, take photos, and admire the turquoise waters of Bow Lake glistening below. On a clear day, the panoramic views here beautifully highlight the raw beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
- Bow Lake - Bow Lake, positioned along the Icefields Parkway, is one of the largest and most picturesque lakes in Banff National Park. Fed by meltwater from Bow Glacier, its vibrant turquoise hue makes it an excellent photo opportunity. The lake is nestled at the base of Crowfoot Mountain and Bow Glacier Falls, offering breathtaking scenery in every direction. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil lakeside walk, a picnic by the shore, or simply relax and take in the reflections of the surrounding peaks. It’s also a fantastic spot to stretch your legs on the way to the Columbia Icefield.
- Peyto Lake - Peyto Lake is one of the most renowned and photographed lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Shaped like a wolf’s head and glowing a brilliant turquoise from glacial rock flour, it is perched high along the Icefields Parkway. A short, easy walk leads to the main viewpoint, where visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding peaks. It’s a must-visit destination for unforgettable photos and a true highlight of Banff National Park.
- Waterfowl Lakes Campground - Waterfowl Lakes Viewpoint, located along the Icefields Parkway, offers a serene stop with stunning views of two emerald-green lakes framed by rugged peaks and glaciers. It’s less crowded than other viewpoints, making it a hidden gem for photos, fresh mountain air, and quiet reflection in the heart of Banff National Park.
- Saskatchewan River Crossing - Saskatchewan River Crossing is a historic meeting point of three rivers and was once a vital fur-trade route. Today, it’s the perfect spot for a break with stunning mountain views, a small café, lodge, and the only fuel stop along the Icefields Parkway. Visitors can stretch their legs, grab refreshments, and enjoy the scenery before continuing their journey.
- Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre - The Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre is the main hub for exploring the Icefields Parkway’s biggest highlight. From here, visitors can join the famous Ice Explorer tour onto Athabasca Glacier or walk the Glacier Skywalk with its glass-floored platform suspended above the valley. Inside, the centre offers exhibits, gift shops, a café, and panoramic views of the Columbia Icefield. It’s also a great breaktime stop to rest, refuel, and take in the breathtaking scenery before continuing the adventure.
- Columbia Icefield Skywalk - The Columbia Icefield Skywalk is a thrilling cliff-edge walkway with a glass floor extending 280 meters above the Sunwapta Valley.
