Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure
Canada
One highlight of the Icefields Parkway: ride on a Snocoach right up onto the glacier itself, get out and walk around on the ice. During the summer, trained guides offer 3 or 5 hour walks on the Athabasca Glacier, but this is only possible when there is no snow cover on the ice. At the very beginning
of the tourist season the glacier is sometimes a smooth white sheet of snow, giving no hint as to the maze of deadly crevasses under its surface. It's also possible to park car near the toe of the glacier with a short but steep walk up to the toe of the glacier (restricted path way due to crevasses).
