    Great view and far away from the hustle and bustle down in the tourist center

      The climb is pretty tough. We North Germans are simply not used to the heights. The guide said "5 km hike moderate incline", which became the running gag of the whole vacation, because it meant only the back tour and moderate at these heights our children also found an understatement. Overall, but great tour with a mega view!

        Impressive view of the edge of the Columbia Icefield. The glacier slides over the cliffs of Mount Kitchener and the Snow Dome. If you're lucky, you can see how ice avalanches break off.
