Driving down the exceptional Icefields Parkway is said by some to be a “quintessential” Banff activity. This highway is surrounded by great glaciers, green-blue alpine lakes, and jagged mountain peaks. Assuming you rented your vehicle, you take the previously-mentioned Trans-Canada Highway from the city of Calgary to Banff, then follow the signs to the Icefields Parkway in the direction of Jasper.
Spend a day exploring the noteworthy Columbia Icefield area. Stop at the numerous viewpoints and overlooks as well. Don’t miss the Glacier Skywalk, a huge, hanging walkway where you can take in striking views of the ice field.

There are many attractive campsites in Banff. Indeed, they are found in some picturesque places in the park and have a lot of amenities as well. For example, the front-country campsites offer hot showers and running water.
They’re cheaper than the local hotels too! More importantly, camping here is a fun, easy way to get out into the great outdoors and immerse yourself in the park. It’s a lot easier than camping in other places because if you forget something or something goes wrong, you’re close to town.
