Roadtrips are all the craze this summer and Canada’s Alberta is the ideal spot for your adventures with the perfect mix of urban exploration, bucket-list national parks, and outdoor adventure.
This three-day road trip through the Rocky Mountains of Canada will leave you wishing for more time in Alberta.
Start off your trip in Calgary, one of Alberta’s two main cities, before packing the snacks, putting the car in drive and heading off to Banff. Banff, the birthplace of Canada’s National Park System, is just shy of 1.5 hours from Calgary. Here, travelers can explore Banff National Park, view wildlife, stroll through the charming village, and grab a bite at one of the many locally owned restaurants before getting ready to set off to Lake Louise.
Lake Louise, located within Banff National Park, is known for its turquoise, glacier-fed lake surrounded by colorful trees and high peaks. In true road trip fashion, be sure to take tons of photos as this stop is one that will take your breath away before you head off to Jasper.
From Jasper SkyTram to Maligne Canyon, you’ll be amazed how the views continue to impress whether you’re viewing from the car, Icefield Skywalk, or a gondola above the mountain peaks.
This scenic road trip will leave you bragging to family and friends about all the memories that were made in, and out, of the car while traveling throughout Alberta!
