It certainly is news to me that the Icefields Parkway is in British Columbia. They must have moved the border somewhat to the east, WHAT!!!!!????? I would appreciate some kind of an explanation please. My email add is bastienk@telus.net Thank-you and Best Regards of the day Kent Bastien

Great content!

[edit]

This paragraph is invaluable! You can't find anything anywhere else on the Internet (in less than 10 minutes of Googling) that points out the winter travel info for the Icefields Parkway:

The road itself is kept open year-round, but during the winter months it is extremely snowy and none of the tourist attractions along its length will be open or able to be visited. The gas-station, store and tourist centre will all be closed for the winter, so there is nowhere to get food or petrol on the Parkway at that time. In fact, the road is often closed due to weather during the winter. Check with park officials for the road conditions before you choose to travel it and be well prepared for winter conditions on the trip.

Just wanted to say thanks!! --24.6.113.39 14:33, 19 November 2010 (EST)

Usable shouldn't be too difficult: I think with a clear route map, this article would probably be Usable. What does it need for Guide? This would be a nice itinerary to feature at some point. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:59, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Could probably do with something about the flora and fauna and geology. I was also thinking about adding a few of the view point car pull in points along the road. --Traveler100 (talk) 07:27, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
All that sounds good. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:29, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
What do you think of the banner image? I may have some panorama view of the road with mountains that could fit 7:1. --Traveler100 (talk) 08:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
So I have changed the banner to one that better shows the parkway. Also added a little more detail and a few more listings. So what do people think needs more detail to make the article a guide? --Traveler100 (talk) 00:28, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
