Colombia Icefield




It was cold, windy and rainy as we headed south through Jasper NP to Banff NP. Of course, we had to stop at the Icefield Visitor Center opposite the Colombia Icefield that feeds a number of glaciers including Athabasca where the Ice Explorer will take you onto the Glacier. It certainly is the thing to do (for others!). The Center has excellent information including one of the original 'buggies' that went on the glacier. And did you know that the Colombia Icefield feeds rivers that flow into the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans? Pretty amazing!
