A great visit. The drive up there is simply gorgeous, and the whole site is top notch. I highly recommend to walk on the glacier with a guide. It is very sad to see that the glacier is getting smaller and smaller every year.

Excellent driver and guide on the glacier, Sami (?) We learned alot and enjoyed the experience and have great pictures to help us remember this great day. On the day we went the sun was shining and the temperature was very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this adventure to others.
Went on to the glacier on the ice bus. What an experience. All my geography lessons at school paled into insignificance when standing and walking on the glacier.
Athabasca Glacier Icewalks. A memorable experience with a great, well-informed guide. They provide you walking shoes or crampons (if you have good shoes), waterproof clothing, gloves, and more. It was slow walking up the gentle incline of the glacier. You need the expert guide to avoid crevasses, hack steps when needed, and be safe. A great, outdoor experience, not to...

We visit this every so often and have been coming here since the 70's. We like to stay at Wilcox creek Campground.
It is interesting to see how far this glacier has receeded in my lifetime alone. The toe used to touch the moraine back when I first came here, then I remember hiking up the moraine to get to...

In this amazing and beautiful glacier we could see how the pass of the years are finishing with this glacier., We were walking until be beside of him and only 20 years ago the glacier was coming 100 metres down the hill. It was one of my favourite places in this area
We drove all day towards the glacier from lake Louise. The sights along the Icefields Parkway were constantly awesome, a neverending vista of peaks and glaciers. Around every corner was another photostop and although the weather deteriorated as the day wore on[our only day of rain in the whole month] we managed to come out of the rain and the...

I'm so happy I had the opportunity to get this done. We took the bus onto the glacier and it was amazing. We had a small amount of snow cover and had a mini snow fight :) also it was recommended we fill up a water bottle with fresh glacial water and it tasted like so very refreshing and the...

Excellent attraction - worth your time - do no pass it up if you are driving the Ice Fields Parkway!! Full service visitor center (no charge). Allow 1-2 hrs time for the visitor center itself. Another 1 hr for the glacier ride (optional) and well worth the expense. Price for food on the high side - so bring your own...

Even if you don't have the kit still go as gloves hats, boots, crampons etc are provided if required. Be prepared for a slight climb to begin, you will puff a bit if you normally live at sea level! Larry, our guide was brilliant, amazing enthusiasm and knowledge, I will never forgot all that I learned on this walk. It...
