8 MUST see stops along the Icefield Parkway🚗🏔️ In order as shown in the video: 📍Athabasca Falls 📍Sunwapta Falls 📍Athabasca Glacier 📍Maligne Canyon 📍Peyto Lake 📍Bow Lake 📍Maligne Lake 📍Spirit Island However, the order in which you would drive is this… 💙Bow Lake - if you’re driving from Banff to Jasper, it will be on your left-hand side and there are plenty of pull offs to stop and enjoy the view! 🐺Peyto Lake - in order to see the iconic wolf shaped lake, you must hike 1.5 miles up a steady incline. There’s a parking lot below but it fills up QUICK. 🏔️Maligne Canyon - this was a super short hike from the parking lot. It’s easy to get down to, but a bit of an incline on the way back. It’s a bit further down the icefield parkway. 🧊Athabasca Glacier - you can either do the hike to the toe of the glacier (less than a mile) or you can book a tour to actually walk on the glacier! We did both and definitely recommend getting to walk on the glacier. ☀️Sunwapta Falls - super easy stop, literally right off of the highway. There are hikes, but the viewpoint is basically in the parking lot 🏔️Athabasca Falls - another easy stop right off the side of the highway. The falls are on the left side of the road and the rock view point is on the right side. It’s pretty easy to find! 🩵Maligne Lake - this stop is in Jasper NP, and it’s a stunning lake! We actually did a boat tour but you can also kayak to…. 🛶Spirit Island- you can’t come to Jasper NP and not see the iconic spirit island. The only way here is by a boat tour or to kayak. Though kayaking would take ALL day. We do regret not kayaking it though, so I guess we will have to go back 😉 Which stop is your favorite?👀 #icefieldparkway #roadtrip #canadaroadtrip #banffnationalpark #jaspernationalpark #travel #travelcouple #adventure #Outdoors #Hiking

📌Save this for your next trip to @vegas 🚐👀 If you’re going to Vegas and want something to do besides casinos… @travelnevada has so many hidden gems that are 1-2 hours away from the city 🤯 🌈7 magic mountains has been on my bucket list since they installed them back in 2016. It’s a random stop but totally worth it. Just make sure you get there at sunrise to avoid all the people. 🔥Valley of Fire is a stunning state park with so many fun hikes to do. We were only there for a day, but we felt like that was enough time to hit the major highlights. Which were mouse tank road, the fire wave, and white dome trail. 🏜️Cathedral Gorge was definitely hidden gym. I recently heard about the state park and we were blown away. It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, but worth the drive. We did the Juniper Loop Trail and felt like we were another planet. 👻Nelson Ghost Town was also in the middle of nowhere. We were just driving through the mountains and all of a sudden there’s this little town on the side of the road. It was free unless you walked around longer than 15 minutes and then it was a dollar person. It’s definitely a unique stop with all kinds of antique buildings, cars, gas pumps, and more. Which is your favorite?👀 #visitnevada #vistvegas #travel #Outdoors #rvlife #travelcouple

You can’t miss this hike in Mt. Rainier National Park 🤯🏔️ We did this hike at sunset, so the first 3 miles weren’t in the dark, but the last 3 were. 🫣 we weren’t in Grizzly territory but there are black bears so still come prepared with bear spray. 🐻 And this was actually the first hike we ever used head lamps… we honestly can’t believe we ever hiked in the dark without them.

You can’t miss this hike in Banff National Park 🤯🏔️ We did the Little Beehive via Lake Agnes trail at sunrise, so we caught the golden hour glow on the peaks and it was the most magical experience we’ve ever had🥹 But—early mornings mean chilly starts, so layer up! 🧥(even in July which is when we went) This area is in Grizzly territory, so don’t forget your bear spray and make plenty of noise. 🐻 Safety first!

You can’t miss this hike in Bryce Canyon National Park🤯🏜️ We did the Queens Garden + Navajo Loop Trail, and it was absolutely stunning! We hiked it in March, so the trail was snowy and muddy, but the contrast against the red rock formations was unreal. 🥹 Pro tip: wear proper hiking boots or crampons—we saw people slipping around in tennis shoes 🫣. And don’t forget to check @alltrails for recent trail conditions! We camped just 2 minutes from the park at a no-hookup campground we found on @ioverlander for only $30/night. 🏕️ It was super convenient for catching sunrise, which is the time to hit this trail! HIKE DETAILS👇🏽 📍Trail Name - Queens Garden + Navajo Loop, Bryce Canyon NP 🥾Distance - 3 miles round trip 🏔️Elevation Gain - Moderate on @alltrails ⏰ Recommended clockwise loop 🚗 Parking is at Sunset Point but fills up fast—arrive early!
