Tour Itinerary
Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint
Your first stop is the Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint. Here, your guide points out how the glacier's shape has changed, offering a poignant, real-time lesson in our evolving environment. It’s a powerful introduction to the day’s glacial theme.
Bow Lake
The journey continues to the stunning Bow Lake. Often overlooked, its deep blue waters and backdrop of the Crowfoot Glacier and Bow Peak create a scene of raw, untouched beauty. Your guide shares the history of the historic Num-Ti-Jah Lodge.
Peyto Lake
Next, a short, guided walk leads you to the Peyto Lake Upper Viewpoint. From this unique perch, you witness the lake's brilliant, almost unreal turquoise hue, fanned out in the shape of a wolf’s head—a perspective few visitors ever learn to see.
Waterfowl Lakes Viewpoint
After a refreshment break at Saskatchewan River Crossing, you ascend into a grander, more rugged landscape. The Waterfowl Lakes Viewpoint offers a stunning panorama of the sharp, dramatic peaks that define the northern part of the parkway.
Columbia Icefield Adventure
The day concludes with a visit to the spectacular Columbia Icefield, one of the largest icefields in North America. Here, you’ll witness the Athabasca Glacier, a striking remnant of the last Ice Age, and have time to explore the Glacier Discovery Centre.
Skywalk
Optional experiences include the Glacier Adventure, featuring a ride on a specially designed Ice Explorer that travels onto the glacier, and the Skywalk, a glass-floored platform suspended high above the Sunwapta Valley offering breathtaking views.
