Hi, I have a friend who has been to the Icefields Parkway. He wants to know if you can get to the Icefields on foot instead of by bigfoot vehicle, and how far the Road trip parking lot is from the Icefields. Thank you ?

Yes, you can

When I went, the big car was gone, so I walked back and forth for about an hour.

No, you must take the big truck. Park at the visitor center and take the shuttle to the top, then take the big truck onto the glacier.

It's no problem to walk to the root of the icefield. It's not as far as I thought.

Just very tired and very cold.

There is a hiking group.

To get to the Icefields Parkway, you have to take a coach in, you can't drive in by yourself. It's said on the Internet that there is a daily limit to the number of coach tickets and they need to be reserved online in advance. If you go in late July, can you buy them on the spot ? Canada Q&A

Hello everyone, we plan to self-drive near Banff from October 2 to 4. I would like to ask: 1) Can we park on the side of the road anywhere we want? 2) Can we go back and forth from Canmore to Jasper on the same day?

Preparing to go on a Road trip from Vancouver to Victoria by ship at the end of September (with a car). I registered on the official website of the ship, but when I tried to book the round trip, the website kept spinning and couldn't enter the next step (selecting the date and location), so I couldn't complete the booking. I wonder where the problem is. Can you tell me how you usually book tickets in advance? What should I pay attention to? Thank you ? Canada Q&A

Can anyone please advise us on a Road trip from Calgary to Vancouver at the end of October? We will mainly visit Banff and Jasper, and the total trip duration will be 5 days. First, we would like to know if the scenery of the two national parks is similar and both are necessary to visit. Second, we are concerned about the driving safety in snowy weather based on the current weather forecast in the area. Although we have a long driving history, we have never driven on icy roads. We would appreciate any advice. Thank you ? Canada Q&A

In fact, it's almost the same as in China. If you are a good driver in China, you will have no problem in Canada! When you rent a car, the website will tell you about the traffic rules and insurance in Canada. The service is very good. There is no toll on Canadian highways. The drivers there drive very strictly. When our domestic traffic is also like this, it will be a real strong country. Gasoline is cheaper than in China, about 5.6 RMB per liter, and there are differences in different places. Remember to fill up the gas (87 octane) if you have the chance ? Canada Q&A

Today we are going from Kanmore to Jasper. Does anyone know how to buy tickets and where to buy them? (Yesterday afternoon, we went from Kanmore to Bow Falls and Surprise Corner. The navigation guided us to walk outside the ticketing lane. Will they make us walk outside again today? Wouldn't that be ticket dodging?) ? Canada Q&A
