Experience It! The Icefields Parkway

Your tour of the Canadian Rockies features a drive along the incredible Icefields Parkway. Paralleling the Great Divide, this special roadway is

home to some of the most dramatic vistas in all of North America. Here, snowcapped mountains engulf the landscape, casting shadows on the

adjacent glacial streams. During the 1800s, fur traders used a similar route. The first roadway was built in the 1930s and the present parkway

was completed by 1965. Highlighting your trip along the Icefields Parkway is a stop at the Athabasca Glacier, part of the Columbia Icefield – a

dramatic 200 square mile stretch of land filled with glaciers. Here you may have an opportunity to ride across a 1,000-foot thick glacier or walk

on the Columbia Icefield Skywalk.
