Unfortunately closed at the beginning of September.

A beautiful family park with many picnic and playground areas

This is the terminus of the Harding Icefield Trail. The massive sheet of ice that spreads out to the horizon from here is the birthplace of more than 35 glaciers — the headwaters of those slow-flowing rivers of ice, if you will. You earned these views, so look your fill — but don't venture onto the ice unless you have the proper equipment and training for glacier travel, and are ready to deal with rapidly changing weather. In fact, the weather up here can be so changeable that there's an emergency shelter.

In any case, always check there before you go on a trail. Current Ingos, e.g. regarding bears

The Exit Glacier is perfectly framed by the shoulders of the mountain across the water. An informational signboard tells you about the view. There are trails up to the Exit Glacier—if you are hiking the Harding Icefield on your visit, this overlook puts the trail in context.

The rangers at the Nature Center are super friendly and can give you information about the current weather forecast and bear sightings on the day of your hike. You will also find interesting information about the glacier theme and small souvenirs.

An overwhelming place that feels like you are standing at the end of the world. It's worth every step to get up here. 🙏
