1. Mile Zero: the big white “Mystery Rock”<br />

symbolizes Mile Zero of the Icefields<br />

Parkway and the 2700 km Highway 93<br />

route to Wickenburg, Arizona.<br />

2. Athabasca Falls: water plunges off a<br />

quartzite plateau through softer limestone,<br />

carving out a spectacular collection of<br />

potholes and powerful white water.<br />

3. Sunwapta Falls Rocky Mountain Lodge:<br />

whether looking for an overnight stop, a<br />

gourmet lunch, or simply a roadside pit<br />

stop, make sure to visit both Sunwapta<br />

Falls and the resort, even if it’s only to<br />

meet Sunwapta Sam.<br />

4. Icefields Centre: trade in your personal<br />

vehicle for a seat on the massive Brewster<br />

Ice Explorer and experience the Athabasca<br />

Glacier from atop the ice.<br />

5. Wickenburg, Arizona: the Icefields Parkway<br />

is only the start of the journey; Highway 93<br />

is the ultimate long-haul route to the<br />

southern US and it has plenty of highlights,<br />

including Las Vegas, the Hoover Dam, and<br />

the historical Lewis and Clark trail.<br />
