The Most Instagramable Locations in Alberta’s Rockies
From Canmore to Jasper… Alberta is seriously home to some of the MOST mountainous view points, breathtaking shades of green and blue for days… and how could I not mention all the glacier water-gatorade-blue-coloured lakes.
I can’t believe I haven’t written this blog yet! After constant requests from travelin’ babes around the world for the hottest spots to hit up around my hometown, Calgary, AB.
Here it is, the most Instagrammable hotspots in the Rocky Mountains comin’ right at you.
Johnston Canyon
You will see not one, but two, stunning waterfalls cascading down the mountain on this quick hike, standing merely metres away from the action. Up for a trek? There’s an 11.7-kilometre trail leading you up to the Ink Pots – another hidden gem.

Jasper Road
Banff To Jasper on the Icefields Parkway is OMG- gasping left, right, and center! You will need to stop more than twice to take photos along the way I can assure you this!…. So many amazing sights along the way! It has to be one of the most beautiful drives in the world, Banff to Jasper via the Icefields Parkway.

Mount Norquay
One of the most incredible adventures I’ve ever done in Alberta! The Via Ferrata tour at Mount Norquay. This is one for the bucketlist without doubt. A 6 hour adrenaline-fulled activity that offers some of the most epic 360 views you will find of Alberta’s Rockie Mountains. Scaling the mountain while taking in these views this is not for the faint hearted.
