The Icefields Parkway

The Icefields Parkway is a 144 mile road from Lake Louise to Jasper.  If you read the literature it is often described as the worlds most scenic drive.  What I know after doing it is that I really can't make an argument for any other drive being as scenic.  It took us over 10 hours to make the drive which is probably evidence enough.  Hopefully the pictures will do some justice to it's beauty.
