Admire the vast icefield on the Icefields Parkway
Icefields Parkway, Canada
You can see the huge Athabasca Glacier straight from the car park. You can walk right up to the glacier and get a sense of its scale.
What you can experience here
The vast Columbia Icefield consists of several glaciers. From the parkway, only the Athabasca Glacier is visible. On the way to the glacier, signs document the retreat of the melting icefield. Climate change is leaving clear marks here. Your chances are good of encountering bighorn sheep. The animals are especially often found around the Columbia Icefields Center.
