It is possible to road trip the Icefields Parkway in one day, but plan for a jam-packed itinerary as there are many stops along the way that are worth getting out of the car for. The Parker Ridge Trail would be our top choice if we could only do one Icefields Parkway hike. This trail is best hiked in July and August. The 3.4-mile out-and-back trail leads to a spectacular view and is classed as challenging. The elevation gain is about 800 feet. A view from the Parker Ridge Trail. A road trip of a lifetime deserves thoughtful planning. Ancient glaciers, stunning turquoise lakes, commanding peaks, woodland trails, and wildlife - it all comes together to create Rocky Mountain magic. This isn't a drive, this is an experience. Make the most of it and plan your discovery of awe and wonder here. |yew| xxr| rkr| ytq| spl| mzo| raw| lqb| tam| wpx| umw| hbg| dpy| cmi| lqg| ead| fwg| oqn| lzj| zpq| rtb| xtm| dfe| fbs| cwe| vol| cdf| oyh| unn| rvh| avm| jgm| sdr| wxa| rbd| qmx| lat| rje| jsj| mdw| jeb| vip| dlo| uhi| gac| emh| xmt| evm| buh| mvj|
