Crowfoot Glacier

197 km (123 mi) S of Jasper/33 km (20.6 mi) N of Lake Louise

Crowfoot is one of over a hundred glaciers that can be seen along the Icefields Parkway. Years ago, this glacier resembled a crows foot, with three large toe-like extensions. The lower "toe" of this foot has receded so much that only two toes remain.

Columbia Icefield

Icefields Parkway, AB

Ice-walk tours are available April 10th until October 20th.

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 325 sq km. 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 is a true "continental divide," for its meltwater feeds streams and rivers that pour into the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans.  Markers at the icefield indicate the rate at which the toe of the Athabasca Glacier has receded this century. Caution - The glacier is dangerous! People have been killed falling into deep, hidden cracks called crevasses in the glacier. For your safety do not cross the barriers.
