This morning, we woke up and drove to the Valley of the Five lakes about 10KM south of Jasper. The 4.2KM loop hike provides a thorough, scenic, and immersive view of the secluded lakes located just outside of Jasper.
We then continued down the Icefields Parkway, visiting Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls, the Icefield Centre, and Bow Summit. After a few hours of driving, we arrived at Lake Louise, one of the most well-known, picturesque lakes in the region. We spent about an hour walking on the frozen lake and enjoying beers in the hotel lounge overlooking Lake Louise. Next, we continued on to Banff and spent the night in Banff.
