Columbia Icefield Tour – Lakes, Skywalk & Glaciers Adventure

Begin your adventure with a scenic journey along the world-famous Icefields Parkway, connecting Banff and Jasper National Parks. Each turn reveals postcard-perfect views of rugged peaks, emerald lakes, and vast glaciers.

Crowfoot Glacier

Marvel at the Crowfoot Glacier, dramatically perched on Crowfoot Mountain. Once shaped like a crow’s foot, this glacier offers a striking glimpse into the changing alpine landscape.

Bow Lake

Located along the Icefields Parkway, Bow Lake is one of Banff National Park’s most picturesque glacier-fed lakes. With crystal-clear turquoise waters reflecting the towering Crowfoot Mountain and Bow Glacier, it’s a perfect stop for photos and peaceful nature walks.

Waterfowl Lake

Pause at the serene Waterfowl Lake, where reflections of Mount Chephren shimmer in crystal-clear waters. It’s a peaceful retreat and perfect photo stop surrounded by alpine beauty.

Peyto Lake

Walk to the famous viewpoint overlooking Peyto Lake, known for its wolf-head shape and vivid turquoise color. This breathtaking spot is one of the most photographed locations in the Rockies.

Columbia Icefield Adventure & Athabasca Glacier
