Banff mountain resort has marvelous locations that are best enjoyed when you travel by road. It is easy enough to reach Calgary International Airport which is 88 miles from Banff town site. Here on you may hit the road by coach or hired vehicle for the more adventurous. Driving in these parts offers some of the world's greatest scenery.
Driving around in a motor vehicle is a great way to move around in Banff. From Calgary it is an eight-hour car trip along mountain driving routes. The National Park however covers a very large area making some parts actually a much longer drive from Calgary.

Highway 1 or the Trans Canada Highway cuts east-west across the park. It is four-lane in places. Highway 1A is a less traveled route along the Bow River Parkway. It is two-lane and the speed limit is lower, but the views are better and entrances to attractions such as Johnston Canyon are more accessible.
Highway 93 at Banff National Park is around the trek near Lake Louise and stretches northward toward Jasper. It is also known as the Icefields Parkway .
