fill up your gas tank before leaving Lake Louise- there’s only one service
station along the route. The road is not dangerous, but watch for unpredictable
weather. It would be best if you keep Auto repair tools
in your vehicle for emergency.

tends to be more lax although safe driving is a must due to remote location and
numerous sightseers. It will be best to explore its beauty during daytime as
night time visibility is greatly reduced.
