If coming up from the south, consider picking up Route 93 in Radium Springs to include Kootenay National Park in your route.
Highlights
The Icefields Parkway extends 165 miles (265 km) between Banff and Jasper National Parks along Route 93. Most of the drive follows the ridgeline of the Northern Rockies delivering dramatic views of glaciers, glacial lakes, towering peaks and mountain valleys.
Based on its length, the drive can obviously be done in a day. That is not recommended. There is so much to see and explore along the route, that a week might not be long enough.
Open and expand the Other Points of Interest tab on the Interactive Map to see just a few of the things this route offers.
