Calgary to Banff, then the Icefields Parkway to Jasper — just lining up those names makes me want to spread out a map. Weaving through the majestic Rockies is a dream route for anyone who loves to travel. It's kind of them to include road conditions and lodging info — this is going straight onto my 'someday' list. I can't stop wondering where to ride next.

I'd want to know the local logistics and paperwork side too, for anyone riding a rental bike there.

North American touring routes are on a scale way beyond Japan—makes you envious.

Just the name 'Icefields Parkway' already tells you the scale of it.

Canada has a lot of wildlife dashing out onto roads too, so I'd want some heads-up about that while riding.

The Icefields Parkway is right at the top of my must-ride-before-I-die list.
