Icefield Parkway Explorer and Columbia Icefield
Overview
As you board our comfortable vehicle, you'll feel the excitement building for the day ahead. You leave the townsite behind and begin your journey along one of the world's most spectacular highways.
You'll first visit the pristine Bow Lake where you'll capture perfect reflections of surrounding peaks. At Peyto Lake viewpoint, you'll marvel at its extraordinary wolf-shaped turquoise waters from an elevated forest trail. By mid-morning, you'll arrive at Saskatchewan River Crossing, the historic junction of three major rivers. After lunch at The Crossing Resort, you'll head to the heart of Icefield Parkway and continue north to witness the impressive twin icefalls of Stutfield Glacier.
The highlight of your journey comes as you board a specialized Ice Explorer vehicle for an unforgettable drive onto the Athabasca Glacier. The adventure continues at the Glacier Skywalk, where you'll step onto a glass floor suspended above the valley for heart-stopping views of mountains and valleys below.
