That section of the Icefields Parkway from Jasper to Banff gets my vote as the most scenic stretch of highway I've been on!

Fantastic! Great pictures.

We did the same route as part of our transcon. Great camping and gorgeous scenery the whole way.

My iPhone 6+ is the only camera I have. We cut off 15 miles north of Banff and rode 93 through the Kootenay to Radium. Then continued down 93 into Montana. Great fun, hard to be back at work.

It looks like the Glaciers in Glacier NP are hurting.

Thanks for the share!

I rode from Banff to Jasper, then out to the coast at Prince Rupert, in 1978. Nothing compares to the stretch along the Rockies though!

Thanks for sharing your trip. Haven't been on that road since 1988. Glad to see there is still glacier at Columbia Icefields.
