Canada's Icefields Parkway Is One of the World's Most Scenic

"A vast, blue glacier that you can approach to stand at its foot; it is in fact just one of the six 'toes' of the Columbia Icefield, the largest icefield in the Rocky Mountains. Visible from the Icefields Parkway, it provides a visceral sense of scale and is a major winter and year-round attraction along the drive." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
