A trip to the Lake Louise resort is well worth doing and it’s not just a lake! The road to Jasper is well worth experiencing with plenty of places to stop off to admire the incredible views. There is only one petrol station at the midway point so make sure the fuel tank has sufficient to get to Jasper or Banff on the return leg. Jasper is a pleasant town although a bit limited in what it offers unless your there specifically for skin or walking.

Travelled from Banff to Revelstoke, via Deadmans Flats and Canmore. Banff to Lake Minnewanka, Lake Louise and Jasper. Truly stupendous scenery with the fuel costing half UK price but longer distances at 55mph takes some getting used to.
