Icefields Parkway and Columbia Glacier

After leaving Lake Louise we drove along the Icefields Parkway to Jasper; billed as one of the most spectacular drives in the world it certainly lived up to it's name. It's very hard to capture the beauty and experience in a photograph as well.

We had many stops along the way: Crowfoot Glacier (there used to be 3 toes to this glacier back in 1919 as the old picture shows, but one has since gone) and Lake Peyto.
We also stopped and did a tour up the Columbia Icefield. The only Glacier in the world that you can take a vehicle (and boy is it a big one) out onto. The glacier feeds 3 different oceans, the only one in the world proven to do so.

Closer to Jasper we stopped at Athabasca Falls and Sunwapta Falls, very impressive in their own rights.
