Bow Lake

Fed by the Bow Glacier, Bow Lake is one of the largest and most scenic lakes along the Icefields Parkway. The reflections of Crowfoot Glacier and the surrounding peaks in its still, turquoise waters make for extraordinary photography opportunities.

Peyto Lake

Arguably one of the most photographed vistas in all of Canada, the view of Peyto Lake from Bow Summit is staggering. The lake’s vivid blue-green colour comes from glacial meltwater, and its unique wolf-like shape is visible from the elevated viewpoint above.

Columbia Icefield

The Columbia Icefield is a vast expanse of ancient ice straddling the Continental Divide, feeding six major glaciers. Standing at its edge, you can feel the chill radiating from thousands of years of accumulated snow and ice.

Athabasca Glacier

One of the most accessible glaciers in North America, the Athabasca Glacier offers a rare opportunity to walk close to (or on) ancient glacial ice. Our driver will share information about the glacier’s history and the ongoing effects of climate change on this remarkable natural feature.
