Heading North.
Driving from the US border to Banff involves crossing into Canada (passport needed!), then taking scenic routes like the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) or Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1) through stunning Rockies scenery, passing other parks like Jasper or Kootenay, with highlights including turquoise lakes (Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, also pages on our web site), abundant wildlife (elk, bears), historic towns (Banff), and mountain vistas, requiring a Parks Canada Pass for entry. Your specific route depends on your border crossing (Carway, Chief Mountain) and priorities (faster highway vs. scenic trails)..
