Peyto Lake

The incredibly shaped glacier-fed Peyto Lake is one of the most visited and photographed lakes in the Canadian Rockies for good reason.During the summer, glacial rock flour flows into the lake and these suspended rock particles give the lake its bright, turquoise colour.We'll take an easy walk to view the lake from Bow Summit, 2,088 metres (6,800 feet) above sea level.Bow Summit is the highest point on the Icefields Parkway and is the highest elevation crossed by a public road in Canada.

Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre

Just as the name implies these glaciers or “fields of ice” straddle Banff National Park and Jasper National Park and are the largest south of the Arctic Circle!They are 325km2 in area and 100 to 365 metres (328 to 1,197 ft) in depth and receives up to seven metres (275 in) of snowfall per year.Here as a group we can walk right up to the foot of the retreating glacier and explore the area, following the receding path of the glaciers through the years.Please note, this tour does not include the Pursuit Skywalk or Icefields Adventure bus trip.Instead, we show our guests local secrets and viewpoints of the glaciers via the easygoing trail system, escaping the crowds and giving you a more sustainable and authentic experience.Guests who wish to opt out of the short hike to the toe of the glacier are welcome to enjoy the onsite facilities and immersive activities at the Columbia Icefields Centre until the remainder of the group finishes the hike.
