Discover CANADA - Hiking Columbia Icefield Toe of the Athabasca Glacier Trailhead
The Athabasca Glacier is one of six major outlet glaciers on the Columbia Icefield in Canadian Rocky Mountains. The Columbia Icefield at 325 sq km (126 sq miles) is the largest icefield in the interior of all of North America and the Athabasca Glacier is certainly the most easily viewed and "touched" by human feet! Most other glaciers require long hikes or climbs beyond the average hiker and certainly beyond the typical tourist. This glacier makes up only 2% of the total mass of the Columbia Icefield. This short hike is found along the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, approximately 129 km (80.3 mi) north of Lake Louise, or 103 km (64 mi) south of Jasper. The trailhead is directly across from the Icefields Centre which cannot be missed on the Icefields Parkway which does require a park permit to enter and to travel on.
