Maligne Lake
A stunning alpine lake famous for its deep blue color and reflection of the surrounding peaks. The perfect starting point for photography and relaxation.

Spirit Island (Cruise Ticket Extra)
Accessible only by boat, Spirit Island is a Canadian icon often featured in travel magazines. The Maligne Lake Cruiseoffers unforgettable views and photo opportunities.

Medicine Lake (Ghost Lake)
Known for its disappearing waters caused by underground drainage. Wildlife sightings — especially elk and bears — are common in this valley.

One of the deepest limestone canyons in the Rockies. Walk along suspended bridges for breathtaking views of waterfalls crashing below.

Pyramid Lake
A serene spot near Jasper town, famous for its calm waters, mountain reflections, and easy access to Pyramid Island.

Athabasca Falls
Feel the power of water as it carves through ancient rock — a short, dramatic stop that’s among Jasper’s most photographed locations.

Sunwapta Falls
Another spectacular waterfall along Icefields Parkway, plunging into a deep canyon framed by forest and mountain peaks.

Cavell Lake (Seasonal: June–October)
A quiet alpine lake surrounded by wildflowers and hanging glaciers, accessible only in summer.

Skywalk (Seasonal: Ticket Extra)
Step out onto a glass platform 918 feet above the valley floor for an adrenaline-filled view of glaciers and cliffs.

Athabasca Glacier (Bus Ride Extra)
Take a Glacier Bus ride for an unforgettable walk on ancient ice, or enjoy a short hike near Sunwapta Lake for panoramic views.

Bow Lake
One of the first major stops on Icefields Parkway, this glacial lake mirrors the surrounding mountains perfectly.

Peyto Lake
A wolf-head-shaped lake with striking turquoise color, best viewed from a high vantage point along the Parkway.

We did a private day tour for my family of five, and it exceeded our expectations. The SUV was clean and comfortable, the timing was perfect, and our guide helped us take beautiful family photos at every stop. We covered so many places in one day that would be impossible on our own. Excellent value for money.
