This tour is not cheap, we have not cut any corners when it comes to your lodging and the sights included in this tour. We want to point out that we spend one night in Banff, one night in Lake Louise and one night in Jasper. From Banff to Jasper it is about 150 miles, but we take three days to work our way through this wonderful area. This tour is much slower paced than our other tours, so you will have time to just sit back and relax and enjoy the views the good Lord has given us. Wes & Karen…..

Monday, August 7 We journey north today on the Icefields Parkway. The Columbia Icefield is located on the boundary of Banff and Jasper National Parks. One of the largest accumulations of ice and snow south of the Arctic Circle, it covers an area of nearly 215 square kilometres, sometimes reaching a depth of 300-360 metres. The continuous accumulation of snow feeds eight major glaciers including the Athabasca, Dome, and Stutfield Glaciers, all visible from the Icefields Parkway. The Columbia Icefield’s melted water feeds streams and rivers that pour into the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. Midway through our journey you will ride in one of the specially designed vehicles out on to the Athabasca Glacier where we will actually get to step out of the vehicle and spend some time on this ancient ice! We continue our way north enjoying the many waterfalls and other sights along the way. Overnight Jasper, AB. B
