Crowfoot Glacier

Early explorers named the glacier Crowfoot due to its three sections of ice resembling a crow’s foot on the mountain. Although one of the three ‘toes’ has since receded and disappeared, the glacier remains a striking sight. Located above Bow Lake in Banff, Canada, the Crowfoot Glacier offers stunning photo opportunities for travelers along the Icefields Parkway. Visitors can marvel at the glacier’s icy blue hues and the surrounding alpine landscape, making it a memorable stop on any journey through the Canadian Rockies.
