Columbia Icefield

Step onto the Athabasca Glacier in the Columbia Icefield and envision the landscape during the last ice age. Midway along the scenic Icefields Parkway, which connects Canada’s Banff and Jasper national parks, this expansive icefield offers a glimpse into a time when glaciers dominated the region. Visitors can explore the glacier’s surface, surrounded by the stark beauty of the Canadian Rockies, and gain a deeper understanding of the geological forces that shaped the area. The experience provides a tangible connection to the ancient past, allowing you to walk where ice once reigned supreme.
