What people say

Rachelle Rutgrink
"Embark on an extraordinary journey to the toe of the Athabasca Glacier, where each step carries you closer to the awe-inspiring heart of the Columbia Icefield. This hike offers a unique opportunity to connect with the ancient ice, traverse dramatic landscapes, and witness the powerful forces that have shaped this glacial wonder over millennia. Want to get even closer? There are guided hikes to the glacier itself. Booking is required, as well as warm clothes as the winds can make the area feel quite cold even in summer!"
