  • Day 1

    Calgary to Lake Louise

    Leave Calgary before 8 AM to beat traffic on your 1.5-hour drive to Banff National Park. Getting an early start is important since parking at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake fills up quickly during peak season from June through September.

    
  • Day 2

    Lake Louise Area

    Get to Moraine Lake when the access road opens at 7 AM to see the Valley of Ten Peaks at sunrise. Visit Lake Louise later in the day when crowds are smaller. The morning temperatures can be close to freezing even in summer before warming up substantially later in the day.

    
  • Day 3

    Icefields Parkway to Jasper

    The drive from Lake Louise to Jasper normally takes 3.5 hours but set aside 6-7 hours to really enjoy the Icefields Parkway. Stop at Peyto Lake for a quick 15-minute walk from parking and don't miss Sunwapta Falls. Bring binoculars and watch for elk and bears in the early morning.

    
  • Day 4

    Maligne Lake, Jasper

    Drive 45 minutes from Jasper town to catch the first Maligne Lake cruise at 9 AM. The 90-minute boat ride to Spirit Island offers fantastic views. Bring bug spray since mosquitoes are common around the lake in July and August.

    
  • Day 5

    Athabasca Glacier and Banff

    You'll need good shoes for walking on the glacier since it's slippery and cold. Book your Ice Explorer tour ahead of time during busy season. From here it's about 2.5 hours to Banff with plenty of scenic stops along the way.

    
  • Day 6

    Banff National Park

    Start with the Indigenous Medicine Walk to learn about traditional plants. Take the Banff Gondola up Sulphur Mountain in late afternoon for the best photos. The last gondola down is usually around 9:30 PM in summer. Pack an extra layer since the summit is about 10°C cooler than town.

    
  • Day 7

    Banff to Calgary

    It's a 1.5-hour drive back to Calgary. If your flight is later stop in Canmore, just 20 minutes from Banff for one last mountain view and coffee at Beamer's Coffee Co.
