- The Icefields Parkway has been called one of the most scenic roads in the world, and it's easy to see why.
In celebration of Jeff's birthday, we joined some friends and embarked on a 6 day, 1,500 mile 'overland' adventure to explore the Canadian Rockies, and this utterly mind-blowing road.

Cannot beat Canada's scenery! Thanks for the video bud
Great video man! That road between jasper and banff is now on my list of roads to drive. Love it!
Thanks dude! Yeah, Icefields Parkway is a bucket-list quality road, for sure!
These riding videos are great. I have been infatuated with the BMW R-GS for many years. Health issues sidelined that plan, so I live through others' experiences - Neil Peart's books, videos on YT, etc. Not all adventures have to be on 4 wheels.
Totally agree, and some adventures are just flat out better on two wheels! The big GS's are world-class bikes, for sure.
Absolutely love it. 🍻
Thank you!
WOW!!
Glad you enjoyed our side of the border! Great video, love seeing it all from a bike vs my driver's seat!
Canada is incredible, without a doubt
@WheretoNextOverland It really is! Always take it for granted haha, but glad to be seeing more of it and my home state of Washington!
👏👏👏
Banff?!?! That's just not fair. Good call on skipping lake louise, soooo touristy lately. Good video!
Thanks! Yeah, we went to Lake Louise once .... and that was enough. It was an absolute zoo.
Wolf creek looks like a steakhouse over here in socal called Northwoods Inn. Great steaks!
Loved this adventure!
Wolf Lodge is everything a steak house should be. Not pretentious, massive portions, great cuts and good drinks. Haha.
Glad you liked this one. I doubt this video will do well, but oh well.
@@WheretoNextOverland It should do as well as your others. Your subs are here for you two. 😊
happy late birthday and good to see the bike, great video of course !!!!
Thank you! There's no better way to celebrate another trip around the sun than a good, long motorcycle trip.
That looked like an amazing trip!! Got the Wolf Lodge added on my ever growing "Roadtrip Bucket list" lol
Yesssss! If you make it to Wolf Lodge, let us know what you thought!
Awesome trip. If you were on a Ktm 890r you would not have missed that ferry, just sayin. Thanks for the video!!
🤣
Great video! We did the Icefields Parkway in August '23 and can confirm that smoke was thick. We also checked off our 8th of the top 10 highways in Canada and it totally deserves to be on that list. It did get a little chilly at times, but those glaciers were an incredible site. Jasper is a cool town. Lake Louise is worth skipping unless you're going to take a day and hike up to the tea house.
I can also recommend the ride to Tofino, BC (stop in at goats on the roof, check out the old growth cedars, and incinerator rock). Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia (be sure to go during lobster season) is ourt favourite of the 10 (so far). It's a fun technical ride with plenty of beautiful views, the nicest people, and great live music everywhere you go.
Not on any list you'll ever find is the ride around PEI and Charlottetown. If you're doing the Cabot Trail anyway it's totally worth the ferry ride. I love PEI. Those purple highways at sunrise are breathtaking, just beware of Moose crossing.
Waterton in Alberta is also a great destination. The Going to the Sun Road won't make many top 10 lists because it's too technical for most, but if you like that kind of adventure then you must go (if you haven't already).
Thank you for this comment! We're ALWAYS searching for the best roads and some of these you mention are totally new to me (never really been east of the Rockies on the bike but Nova Scotia sounds really interesting.
We've been to Going to the Sun Road, but we were there too early in the year so it wasn't fully open.
For me, the more technical the road the more enjoyable, so that's still on my bucket list.
A few more that I'd add to this would be Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Highway. If you've never been, they're bucketlist worthy as well imo
@@WheretoNextOverland Thanks for those two. They're only a couple days ride from home too. We'll have to check them out. Cheers!
Now that's on my bucket list. But this is absolutely stunning. Great video as always.
It should be on everyone's bucket list IMO! It is one of the two most beautiful places Christine and I have ever visited.
@@WheretoNextOverland I seen 48 USA states and thought I saw it all. I guess I was wrong.
