Perfectly locating itself along a 300KM stretch between Banff and Jasper, the stunning Icefield Parkway awaited our exploration - on a per kilometer basis, this road had to be one of the most photogenic places we had visited. Motoring along this road was tiring as we found it difficult to concentrate on the driving and not be distracted by the surrounding scenery of roaring rivers, snow-capped mountains, shimmering glaciers as well as enough wilderness and hiking tracks to last possibly a life time. We made frequent driving stops to take in the breath-taking views and satisfied our photography appetites. Every turn of a corner was a gem of a photo opportunity waiting - we stopped by the famed (and sadly retreating) Columbia and Athabasca Glaciers, Bow River lookouts, picnic spots by the numerous view points such as Mosquito Creek. Yeh, the Icefield Parkway could also be named the Ooh-Ahh-Wow-Jez Parkway !
