Best Columbia Icefield Tours from Lake Louise

The largest continuous ice field in the Canadian Rocky Mountains spreads 150 square miles in the Alberta province from the national parks of Banff and Jasper. Columbia Icefield is 1,197 feet deep and is surrounded by many of the highest peaks of the Canadian Rockies. It was first noted in 1898 by explorer John Norman Collie and it lends its name to the Icefields Parkway. A miniature model of the Columbia Icefield and multimedia presentations on it can be found at Columbia Icefield Visitors' Centre in Jasper National Park. Show All
