This mountain range is a world-class attraction. It allows visitors to view glacier capped mountains reaching into the sky and dipping into vibrant milky-green glacier-fed lakes. Ice fields, forests, and rugged peaks flood the landscape while comfortable resort-towns make for memorable accommodations. Jasper, Banff, and Lake Louise are the most popular destinations within the region. Calgary is the closest city; it is located about 1 hour from the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
