The Howse Pass Viewpoint offers a peaceful and scenic stop along the Icefields Parkway. It provides expansive views of Howse Peak and the surrounding rugged terrain. This often-overlooked viewpoint allows visitors to take in vast, open landscapes with little to no crowds.

Known for its historical significance as a key route for early explorers, Howse Pass is a great spot to reflect on the region's rich past while enjoying sweeping mountain views that are just as breathtaking as more popular spots along the parkway.
