This stock photo shows a small Pine tree in a snow covered meadow along the Icefields Parkway, Banff National Park, Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada. Banff National Park forms part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Icefields Parkway (French Promenade des Glaciers), also known as Highway 93, is a scenic road in Alberta, Canada. It parallels the Continental Divide, traversing the rugged landscape of the Canadian Rockies. It travels through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, linking Lake Louise and Jasper. Highway 93 also runs concurrently with Highway 1 between Lake Louise and the Castle Mountain junction, where it continues into Kootenay National Park in British Columbia as the Banff-Windermere Highway. The parkway, 230 km (143 mi) in length, was completed in 1940; it is named for features such as the Columbia Icefield, which is visible while traveling the parkway.
