Photo Essay: 22 More Stunning Landscapes and Wildlife Photos From The Canadian Rockies

Last Updated on March 5, 2020

Earlier this week, we shared 20 Incredible Landscape Photos Driving The Canadian Rockies. Looking through our photos, there are still so many we are in love with, so here is more travel inspiration for you.

These photos are sure to leave you in awe, and wanting to have your own adventure in the Canadian Rockies — we think so, at least!

These photos will take you further around Jasper National Park, the famous Icefields Parkway drive and end at Lake Louise in Banff National Park. We crossed Banff National Park on our way home from our trip and when we get back out to Alberta, Banff will be our starting point.

Jasper is also a fabulous place to see wildlife and though we wished we would have seen more, we were thrilled with the encounters we had, especially with the absolutely massive antlers on the Elk we saw. It was so unreal!

The Rocky Mountains are absolutely incredible. Though the weather didn’t always work out in our favour, the experience still blew our minds. The Rocky Mountains are worth a visit – in any weather. Even when shrouded in cloud, the grandeur of the Rockies can’t be hidden.
