➤ Highway 93 is a north–south highway in Alberta, Canada. It is also known as the Banff-Windermere Parkway south of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) and the Icefields Parkway north of the Trans-Canada Highway. It travels through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park and is maintained by Parks Canada for its entire length. It runs from the British Columbia border at Vermilion Pass in the south, where it becomes British Columbia Highway 93, to its terminus at the junction with the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) at Jasper. The route takes its number from U.S. Route 93, which runs uninterrupted south to central Arizona, and was initially designated as '93' in 1959.

Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

As the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper National Park boasts over 11,000 square kilometres of mountain wilderness and abundant wildlife. The park has numerous breathtaking waterfalls, but the multi-tiered cascade of Tangle Creek Falls is a must-see spectacle. This easily accessed waterfall is considered one of the Canadian Rockies' best day hikes. Located off the 93 Icefields Parkway in Alberta, the spray from Tangle Creek Falls can be felt out on the highway itself. If you’re looking to capture some breathtaking pictures, it may be worth getting off the highway and going closer to the falls to truly experience its beauty.

My (personal) crowning photography achievement. Pull off along Highway 93 in Alberta, Canada.

Mount Kerkeslin with the Athabasca River Flowing By (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at Athabasca Falls and along the walkway with a view looking to the southeast across the open valley with the river flowing by and Mount Kerkeslin as a backdrop. This is along the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park. My thought on composing this image was to capture that wide open feel with the setting. Nearby I included some foreground with the rocks along the rivers edge. I felt that helped to add a layered look with the river and then the forest and mountains to complete the image captured.

Jasper National Park, AB (No. 8)

The park contains several major roads, most of which are intended to be scenic routes that provide access to all of the park's front-country attractions. Since a good sample of parks scenery and wildlife can be viewed from the roads themselves, driving them is considered a core part of the park experience.

Highway 16 (part of the Trans-Canada Highway and Yellowhead Highway systems) is the main route through the park and is the only major east–west corridor crossing the mountains in that area. It serves as both an important trade and travel corridor for through traffic and a tourist route allowing visitors to access and view many of the park's attractions.

The Icefields Parkway (also known as Highway 93) is a highway 230 km (140 mi) in length running from Lake Louise, Alberta, in Banff National Park, to Jasper, Alberta, where it meets Highway 16. The scenic highway runs parallel to the continental divide, providing motor and cycle access to the heart of the Canadian Rockies and is considered to one of the park's main attractions. Along its length the parkway has many viewpoints, tourist attractions, hikes and campgrounds. The Athabasca and Sunwapta Falls are both accessible by the road. In May 2014, Glacier Sky Walk opened to the public. It is glass-floored observation platform 280 metres (920 ft) over the Sunwapta Valley. Unlike Highway 16, the Icefields Parkway is strictly a tourist route, and all freight traffic is prohibited from using the road. All users must have a parks pass.
