Unmissable Scenic Drives Inside the Parks
Early light ignites Peyto Lake’s turquoise, while glaciers cling above Bow Summit and the Columbia Icefield. Slow for mountain goats, savor pullouts, and respect weather that shifts faster than a playlist.
Wildlife Etiquette on the Open Road
Expect bears near berry patches and road verges. Stay in your vehicle, give space, and never leave snacks accessible. One dawn near Lake Louise, we waited quietly as a black bear crossed, unbothered.
Campfires, Campsites, and Leave No Trace
Set calendar reminders for Parks Canada reservations, then consider shoulder seasons for calmer campgrounds. Fundy’s fog softens mornings, while PEI’s beaches shine in late June. Check closures and bring layers for fickle weather.
Campfires, Campsites, and Leave No Trace
Confirm fire bans and use designated pits only. One July night in Riding Mountain, loons called across glassy water while spruce snapped in the fire—proof that simple rituals anchor unforgettable journeys.
Stories of Place: Indigenous Knowledge and Respectful Travel
Though accessed by boat, Gwaii Haanas inspires every road wanderer. Haida Watchmen share stories that reshape how we tread. Let that care guide your visits in every roadside forest and beach.
Weather Windows and When to Go
01
Spring and Shoulder‑Season Rewards
Rivers roar, wildlife stirs, and crowds thin. Some high passes remain snowbound, so double‑check road status and pack microspikes. The trade‑off is solitude at overlooks that bustle in July.
02
Summer Freedom, Coastal Fog, and Fire Season
Long days stretch drives, but popular campgrounds fill fast. Coastal fog cools Pacific Rim, while inland regions may see smoke. Carry masks, watch advisories, and build rest days around air quality.
03
Autumn Gold and Winter Magic
September larches flame in Yoho and Kootenay, and elk bugles echo through Jasper. Winter invites quiet road trips to Riding Mountain and Prince Albert—bring winter tires and embrace crystalline calm.
Packing the Car: Gear That Saves the Day
Carry paper maps, an offline GPS app, and a basic satellite communicator for dead zones. A compact compressor, booster cables, and reflective triangles transform roadside frustrations into manageable pauses.
