Howse Pass, a hidden gem of Banff National... 15 minutes
Howse Pass, a hidden gem of Banff National Park, is a breathtaking mountain pass rising to about 1,530 meters (5,020 feet) along the Continental Divide between Alberta and British Columbia. Unlike the well-traveled Icefields Parkway, this historic route offers peace, solitude, and untouched wilderness. Once a vital Indigenous trading corridor, it later became a path for early fur traders and explorers, including Joseph Howse of the Hudson’s Bay Company, after whom the pass is named. Today, Howse Pass is recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada, celebrated for its cultural and historical importance. Surrounded by rugged peaks, dense forests, and wild valleys, it gives travelers a chance to connect with both nature and history. With sweeping views and a quiet atmosphere, it’s a place where the stories of Canada’s past meet the raw beauty of the Rockies, making it a meaningful stop for those seeking an authentic mountain experience.

The Icefields Parkway, often called one of the most beautiful drives in the world, stretches 230 kilometers (143 miles) through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, connecting Lake Louise in Banff National Park with Jasper National Park. This legendary highway winds past towering peaks, turquoise lakes, vast glaciers, and sweeping valleys, offering breathtaking scenery at every turn. Along the route, travelers encounter iconic landmarks such as Peyto Lake, Bow Lake, Crowfoot Glacier, Athabasca Glacier, and the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest ice masses south of the Arctic. Wildlife sightings are common, with chances to see bears, elk, and mountain goats along the roadside. Open year-round, the parkway provides a completely different experience in each season, from snow-draped winter wonderlands to lush summer meadows. More than just a drive, the Icefields Parkway is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Canada’s most spectacular wilderness.
