Day 4
Go white-water rafting down the
Kicking Horse River.
Head north along the Icefields
Parkway, stopping at the Crowfoot Glacier overlook, beautifully blue
Bow Lake,
and the
high lookout platform above
Peyto Lake.
As dusk falls, keep your eyes out for wildlife
such as bears, elk, and moose. Bunk down for the night en route to Jasper.
Day 5
Continue to
Jasper
and take a boat tour on
Maligne Lake
to photogenic
Spirit Island.
As a general rule, the lake is less windy in the morning and there are fewer crowds. After
lunch, head west to
Mount Robson Provincial Park
and view the park's namesake peak
as the sun sets. Return to Jasper for the night.
Day 6
The Icefields Parkway is dotted with scenic pullouts and day-use areas. You will have
stopped at many of them on the way north, but the
Columbia Icefield
was left for this
return trip. Here, choose between an Ice Explorer tour onto the glacier and the hike to Wil-
cox Pass, for a sweeping view of the glacier-filled valley. Continue south to
Canmore
to
take in
Oh Canada Eh!
dinner theater.
