Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure Day Tour from Calgary/ Banff
Overview
Explore the frozen expanses of the Columbia Icefield, snap photos of the snow-covered peaks of the Rocky Mountains, and learn about the erosive legacy of the Crowfoot Glacier on this day trip around Banff and Jasper's national parks.
Explore a small corner of the largest icefield in North America and consider an optional tour to the Columbia Icefield Ice Explorer. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to visit the heart of the Icefields Parkway. Continue to Bow Lake for photos of the jagged peaks and the icy foot of Crowfoot Glacier. Learn how the ice shaped the mountain-studded skyline, and visit Peyto Lake, known for its blue-green waters due to high mineral content.
