Instead of taking the highway to Lake Louise take a little extra time and take the Bow Valley Parkway. It is a more scenic drive and gives you a better opportunity to see wildlife. The are also lots of hiking trails located off this road. More

My husband and I loved this route! Take your time and stop at the viewing areas. If you're lucky, you get to see the train pass at a very picturesque spot! Saw mountain sheep during this drive! More

I took this route back from Lake Louise. It takes longer, but it's worth it. I wanted to pull over many times just to take in the scenery. There are viewpoints where you can do this. We did not see any wildlife but I still enjoyed the drive. More

May is a great time to visit. Visited the bow falls and the hoodoos, which is an interesting formation of rocks. You can see evidence of the shift of the earth milliins of years ago by the rock strata on its side. More

Great drive, take your time enjoy the scenery, respect the animals and you will have a wonderful day. Absolutely a gorgeous drive, stay in the car except at view points and both you, the scenery and the wildlife will all benefit. More

While I lived in Canada this was my favorite drive! Both times my friends and I came on this drive we saw countless amounts of wildlife! Both times we saw bears which were sometimes hard to see!! I must say we saw them for a distance and did not get Out the car! We saw some tourists that got out... More

It's beautiful. The only reason why I give 4 stars is that there are many other more gorgeous landmarks near Banff. More

Great way to get to Lake Louise if you're not in a hurry and want a chance to seen some wildlife. More

The scenery along the parkway is all very nice, and little places to stop along the way are good for lunch and stretching your legs. We didn't see any animals unfortunately, but it was still worth it because the view was so nice. More
