  • The Ultimate Rocky Road Trip
    3/23/2021 The ultimate Rocky road trip The ultimate Rocky road trip Photos: Alamy, Parks Canada/Ryan Bray You could drive the Icefields Parkway in three hours. But you won’t. Whether you’re a walker, photographer or expert picnicker, this is the longest three-hour trip in the world. By Leslie Woit, Saturday 27 February, 2016 “There are two ways to see the Icefields Parkway (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/northamerica/canada/7366 34/A-seriously-good-spin.html). The hard way,” explained Banff mountain guide Chic Scott. “And the easy way.” In 1967, Chic was among a small team who completed the first high-level ski traverse from Jasper to Lake Louise. It took 21 days to negotiate that particular uncharted strip of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/north- america/galleries/Rocky-Mountains-highlights-17-incredible-photographs- of-the-Rockies/), 300km over what he described as “a logical line along the s.telegraph.co.uk/graphics/projects/canada-travel-icefield-parkway/index.html 1/14 3/23/2021 The ultimate Rocky road trip Continental Divide”. They climbed peaks, hopscotched crevasse-riddled glaciers, crossed massive avalanche paths, all while passing through some of the most resplendent, rugged mountain scenery on Earth. The Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park. Banff Lake Louise Tourism/Paul Zizka And then there’s the easy way Parallel to Chic’s backcountry route, the Icefields Parkway cuts a swath through western Alberta from Jasper to Lake Louise, a civilised 230km highway paved smooth as a baby’s bottom.
