While in Banff, make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below. Here is The Pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.

Best time to visit is during the off-season from early May to mid-June, or in October. This way you can avoid sharing the high way with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. But whatever the season, take some lunch with you from Banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.

Forty minutes north of Banff, side by side with the Banff National Park, sits world-famous Lake Louise. This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. Glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.

Back on the road, and it’s time to continue north past the Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier. You can do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. Either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.

Finally you’ll reach Jasper, the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop. It’s worth riding the Jasper Skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge, also dating back 100 years or so. If you can have lunch there, do it. The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor’s face.
