The Columbia Icefield is the largest icefield in the Rocky Mountains and it is one of the most accessible expanses of glacial ice in North America. The tourist main destination at the Columbia Icefield is the Icefield Discovery Centre. As the largest icefield in the Rocky Mountains, the Columbia Icefield features a unique ecological makeup. While much of the landscape is typical of the alpine ecology found throughout the Rocky Mountains, there are some unique flora and fauna found in the general icefield region. It is one of the incredible bucket list destinations for once in a lifetime.

We were picked up in Downtown near Chinatown by Peter. It was a comfortable trip there and back with plenty of rest stops. Peter the guide was excellent at all times providing the tickets which we had all pre purchased. The experience of the Skywalk and Colombia Icefield was superb. The staff at the Ice Centre are very good although some tourists unfortunately can be rude and pushy. To be expected. Make the most of this before the glacier disappears as it's a sobering thought how far as with other glaciers how it has retreated over the years. The sight of mountain goats and bald eagles was an added bonus. Once again special thanks to Peter and the rest of the passengers in our group.
This was the only tour...

This was the only tour that I was find with it. But I don’t recommend it. If you’re going to Jasper for Columbia ice walk and skywalk, you’re better off saving money and go on your own since it’s the same process. They only allow certain time to enjoy the walks and the scenery for photos. Once again, Chinese group and Chinese tour guide. (Not racist). It’s my first time experience tours and I’m sad and disappointed that this has happened to me. You live and you learn. So please do not book any tour from this platform! It’s all Chinese tour guide who is rude and extremely disrespectful to other people but their own kind. Well, except for this one. He was good but I forgot his name (he did a tour on 08/15). He was a nice guy alright. I rated 3 only because we were running behind and I got to my Airbnb late which it was supposed to be quiet time. Also because it was Chinese group (once again I’m not racist). I was expecting a good experience with people and places but I didn’t.
