This is one of the most photographed lakes in the country. The short 2. We highly recommend doing this! This will be your first stop along the Icefields Parkway. This is another must-see along the Icefields Parkway. The Columbia Icefields is one of the largest on Earth. There are some unique walking tours as well, but for most people, the most popular thing to do is to the Glacier Adventure tour, which takes you on to the Athabasca Glacier via an all-terrain explorer.
Some people may also call this area the Jasper Icefields, the Banff icefields, or even the Icefields Parkway Glacier, but the correct term is the Athabasca Glacier and the Columbia Icefields. The tours run like clockwork, leaving every 20 minutes or so. They start at the Columbia Icefield Visitor Centre, which also has a hotel. The Icefield Centre also has a help desk for planning your trip around the area.
Please note that this activity is closed during the winter months. You can still pull off and admire the view, but none of the lodging, restaurants, or activities are open. The Glacier SkyWalk is a glass-floor bridge that hovers feet above the valley floor. For those afraid of heights, this might be a thrill as well!
Please note that this closed during the winter months. While there are a number of hiking trails in the area, the most popular thing to do is to walk as far as the waterfall and just admire it for as long as you want.
Another extremely popular spot with photographers and tourists, this is not only a beautiful waterfall but also a small canyon that cuts through the valley. With sunlight, the water is bright turquoise, resembling that of a tropical beach. If you see lookout points along the way not listed here, please stop and look.
There are a variety of lakes right along the highway, which are also wonderful places to spend some time. This is the view from the picture below and we highly recommend stopping here as well.
