Activity itinerary

Crowfoot Glacier

Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint is one of the most scenic stops on the Icefields Parkway, located near Bow Lake. Once shaped like a crow’s foot with three distinct toes, the glacier has partially receded over time, but it still creates a dramatic backdrop against the rugged peaks of the Wapta Icefield. The viewpoint is easily accessible with roadside parking, making it a perfect stop to stretch, capture photos, and admire the turquoise waters of Bow Lake shimmering below. On a clear day, the panoramic views here perfectly showcase the raw beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

Bow Lake

Bow Lake, located along the Icefields Parkway, is one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in Banff National Park. Fed by meltwater from Bow Glacier, its brilliant turquoise colour makes it a perfect photo stop. The lake sits at the base of Crowfoot Mountain and Bow Glacier Falls, offering breathtaking scenery in every direction. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful lakeside stroll, a picnic by the shore, or simply relax and take in the reflections of the surrounding peaks. It’s also a great spot to stretch your legs on the way to the Columbia Icefield.

Peyto Lake

Peyto Lake is one of the most famous and photographed lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Shaped like a wolf’s head and glowing a brilliant turquoise from glacial rock flour, it sits high along the Icefields Parkway. A short, easy walk leads to the main viewpoint, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding peaks. It’s a must-stop destination for unforgettable photos and a true highlight of Banff National Park.

Waterfowl Lakes Campground

Waterfowl Lakes Viewpoint, along the Icefields Parkway, offers a peaceful stop with stunning views of two emerald-green lakes framed by rugged peaks and glaciers. It’s less crowded than other viewpoints, making it a hidden gem for photos, fresh mountain air, and quiet reflection in the heart of Banff National Park.

Saskatchewan River Crossing

Saskatchewan River Crossing – A historic meeting point of three rivers and once a vital fur-trade route. Today, it’s the perfect spot for a break with stunning mountain views, a small café, lodge, and the only fuel stop along the Icefields Parkway. Stretch your legs, grab refreshments, and enjoy the scenery before continuing your journey.

Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre

1h 30m
Admission ticket not included

Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre – The main hub for exploring the Icefields Parkway’s biggest highlight. From here, you can join the famous Ice Explorer tour onto Athabasca Glacier or walk the Glacier Skywalk with its glass-floored platform suspended above the valley. Inside, the centre offers exhibits, gift shops, a café, and panoramic views of the Columbia Icefield. It’s also a great breaktime stop to rest, refuel, and take in the breathtaking scenery before continuing your adventure.

Columbia Icefield Skywalk

Admission ticket not included

Columbia Icefield Skywalk – A thrilling cliff-edge walkway with a glass floor extending 280 metres above the Sunwapta Valley.
