Tips for Enjoying the Parkway in Peak Season

6/29/2018

  • Start your day early; you'll see more wildlife and miss the heavy traffic.
  • Visit attractions like the Columbia Icefield and Glacier Skywalk in early morning or late afternoon to insure your space on the attractions.
  • Trail head parking occasionally overflows by mid-morning, so plan ahead.
  • If you are hiking in the Rockies, include insect repellent with DEET to deter ticks and mosquitoes and carry bear spray in your day pack.
  • Pack a rain slicker and sweater in case of sudden weather changes.
  • Watch your fuel gauge, The Crossing is the only service centre between Lake Louise and Jasper.
  • Need lunch for your hike? Pick up a bag lunch at The Crossing Cafeteria.
  • Follow the posted speed limits - animals often dart out of the ditch or the surrounding forest onto the highway.
