Columbia Ice Fields

Once we and Harvey got settled into Banff we took about a 3 hour drive to the Columbia Ice Fields.  The weather was fabulous that day so we had beautiful scenery the entire trip.

These glaciers, like all others we have seen, are melting.  This one is losing 5-6 miles of ice each year.  It is still magnificent.


We took a trip up to the glacier.  First a 10 minute bus ride then transfer to the ice buggy for 10 more minutes.

It was very large.

 Some very large tires



From the glacier we went to the glass bottom skywalk.


Spectacular views.
