This Might Be the Most Stunning Summer Road Trip in Canada

"A vast, iconic icefield whose massive glaciers are best experienced via all-terrain Ice Explorer tours led by naturalists; visitors can walk on the glacier, see rivulets of meltwater, and confront the sobering reality that this landmark is predicted to shrink significantly within a few decades." - Rebecca Deurlein Rebecca Deurlein Rebecca Deurlein believes everything is interesting, and she loves finding the story everywhere she goes. Her passion is discovering people and places that have gone unnoticed and bringing light to what makes them unique. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
