Scenic Icefield Parkway, Bow Lake, Columbia Icefield, Peyto Lake, Crowfoot Glacier, Canadian Rockies, pristine lakes, glaciers, and breathtaking mountain landscapes.
【Icefield Parkway】
One of Canada’s national treasures and most rewarding destinations. Stretching 232km (144mi) through the heart of Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, this world-class journey offers access to a vast wilderness of pristine mountain lakes, ancient glaciers and broad sweeping valleys. (pass through)
【Bow Lake】
The most visited lake on the Icefield Parkway. On calm mornings, the reflection of the Crowfoot Mountain Range on the mirror-like surface of the lake creates a serene and enchanting atmosphere, making it the most delightful scenery for visitors. In the summer, this area serves as a foraging ground for bears, providing frequent opportunities to spot their tracks. For your safety, please remember to maintain a safe distance from bears. (stop for about 20 minutes)
【Columbia Icefield – Snocoach (Optional) $$】
This ice sheet is the largest single ice mass south of the Arctic Circle in North America, with dozens of glaciers originating from here. Being in its midst always evokes a profound sense of awe for nature. The region is also renowned for its Earth meteorological database, preserving centuries of climate changes. You can embark on an ice exploration journey here aboard the Glacier Adventure ICE Explorer – Snocoach to the surface of the glaciers. (stop for about 2.5 hours)
【Peyto Lake】
The ever-changing colors are the most famous scenery of Peyto Lake. The high-density glacial minerals in the water make the lake appear as if the waves are frozen at the edge, often leaving visitors questioning the reality of the water. The lake’s colors can change with the seasons or weather, earning it the reputation as one of the representative lakes of the Rocky Mountains. (Stop for about 20 minutes) *If not accessible, it will be replaced with Waterfowl Lake
【Crowfoot Glacier】
Because, when initially discovered, the glacier had three ice masses resembling the claws of a crow, it was named accordingly. Unfortunately, due to climate change, one of the claws melted and collapsed in the early 20th century. Currently, only the remaining two claws are visible, serving as a compelling testament to the impact of the Earth’s greenhouse effect. (Stop for about 15 minutes)
