LAKE MINNEWANKA DRIVE This scenic 14 km loop road begins at the Minnewanka Interchange on the Trans-Canada High- way, and takes you to a number of popular attractions (#1-5). See p. 17 for enlargement of this area. D. ICEFIELDS PARKWAY (#93N) This is one of the world’s greatest mountain highroads, named for the chain of huge icefields that roofs the Rockies. Sixty years ago, a trip from Lake Louise to Jasper took two weeks by pack horse. Now you can travel the 230 km in a day, with time to stop at points of interest (#7-11). Be prepared for varied weather conditions; snow can fall in the high passes even in midsummer. C. BOW VALLEY PARKWAY (#1A) A scenic alternative to the Trans-Canada Highway, the Bow Valley Parkway begins just west of Banff and includes Johnston Canyon (#6) among its attractions. Maximum speed is 60km/hr. Sharing the Parkway For most of the year, we encourage visitors to enjoy the attractions and wildlife watching opportunities that the parkway provides. To help protect wildlife, however, we are asking visitors to limit their travels on a portion of this road, at select times -- see details below. The remainder of the parkway and all commercial facilities along the #1A remain open as usual. WHERE: The 17 km stretch from Johnston Canyon east to the Trans- Canada Highway (marked as on map). WHEN: From March 01 to June 25, this portion is open between 9 am and 6 pm only. Please use the TransCanada Highway alternate route in the evening, night-time, and early morning. WHY: Research indicates that wildlife are most sensitive to human pre- sence in this prime valley-bottom habitat in spring, when higher altitudes remain snowbound, and from dusk to dawn, when they are most active.

TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY (#1) Along the eastern portion of this highway, you can see how we’re working to keep Banff’s highways safe for people AND wildlife. The entire twinned section is fenced, and every kilometre or so there are animal underpasses to allow wildlife to cross safely. Look for two NEW animal overpasses (at Redearth Creek and at Wolverine Creek) -- designed for underpass-wary species such as wolves, cougars, and bears. These overpasses are strictly for wildlife; they are off-limits to humans. Arrive early - campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis only.
