Bottom Line: The Canadian Rockies we experienced are like the Swiss Alps on Steroids-beautiful, expensive and very, very worthwhile. The Fairmont Hotels we stayed in Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper were quite varied, the most memorable parts of the trip included the sheer natural beauty EVERYWHERE we went with majestic towering mountains, beautiful pristine lakes, easy to drive highways with unending postcard scenes at every turn and many tourist sites to see both in Banff and Jasper National Parks.
Among the highlights that we recommend as "must sees" are the Icefields Parkway, The Columbia Icefields and the Banff Gondola.
