The Columbia Icefield is the Parkway's crown jewel where you join a knowledgeable guide to experience a 90-minute ride on an all-terrain Ice Explorer. Learn about the natural processes that created this natural splendor and stand on ancient ice while sipping the fresh waters of its rivers. Later, take a thrilling 20-minute helicopter ride over the Wilson Glacier, located just east of the Athabasca Glacier.

This round trip tour to the Columbia Icefield includes stops at the Crowfoot Glacier, Peyto Lake and Columbia Icefield. Time will be allowed at the Columbia Icefield for your Ice Explorer excursion onto Athabasca Glacier and lunch (not included). You will have several photo opportunities during the day before you are dropped off at the Saskatchewan River Crossing where you will leave the tour and be picked up in a sedan or van. A half hour transfer takes you to Cline River for your 20-minute helicopter ride and allows time to browse the gift shop and take some photos. You will then be transferred back to Banff where you will arrive at approximately 7:00 pm.
