Just did the drive from Jasper -> Yoho -> Lake Louise -> Canmore. I recorded all our stops, in total it took us 13.5 hours!

• 9:20am Left from Jasper
• 9:40am-9:50am Athabasca Pass Viewpoint (3/5 - view is kind of blocked by trees but it has signs for each of the mountains)
• 10:00am-10:45am Athabasca Falls (5/5 - fun to get sprayed by the waterfall; prepare for crowds though)
• 11:05am-11:15am Sunwapta Falls (3/5 - not quite as amazing as Athabasca, but there is a small shop and some lodges here if you need a bathroom break)
• 11:40-11:45am Beauty Creek (4/5 view of mountains and river right off the road)
• 11:50am-12:00pm Stutfield Glacier Viewpoint (3/5 easy stop with a view right off the road)
• 12:00pm Tangle Creek Fall (5/5 - very pretty waterfall right on the side of the road. A bit of a scramble to hike up if you want to view the upper section)
• 12:20pm-12:35pm Athabasca Glacier (5/5 very windy, didn’t do the hike but just took some quick pictures)
• 1:30pm Waterfowl Lake Viewpoint (3/5 nice stop just off the road, not too crowded)
• 2:00pm-3:30pm Peyto Lake (5 /5 - incredible, the best view, has a bit of uphill climb, crowded) pic 2 & 3
• 4:00-4:20pm Bow Lake (4/5 - nice place to dip feet in water)
• 5:15pm-6:00pm Takakkaw Falls (5/5 - beautiful easy walk to the falls, also has nice picnic table areas, a little crowded)
• 6:40pm-7:50pm Emerald Lake (4/5 - Emerald Lake Lodge had a nice lounge, free WiFi, good bathrooms, a good place to rest and eat)
• 8:20pm-9:30pm Lake Louise (4/5 - Tons of bugs, still pretty crowded, and due to the sun setting the water color was not as bright, but very pretty!) pic 1
• 11:00pm arrived in Canmore

*Disclaimer: My ratings are entirely subjective, but I wanted to highlight which stops I enjoyed the most and which ones I think could be skippable (marked as a 3)

Tips: - There’s no reception on the most of the drive, so download offline maps and save all the spots you want to see. If you have multiple cars you probably need walkie talkies to communicate. There is reception at the Columbia Icefield which is about halfway - Pack snacks and picnic food as there aren’t many food options along the way, but plenty of picnic sites - Lots of bugs in the evening so bring bug spray and long layers - Don’t book anything early morning the next day! We had to wake up pretty early the next morning to drive 1 hr back to Lake Louise for a shuttle pickup to go to Moraine Lake
