Out of this world. Always wanted to walk on glacier. Colin and Riley did an excellent job. Drive was epic. Food was great. Experience fabulous. Would do again. Sad to see the decline of our earth's beauty because of global warming. Got to see lake Louise, lake peyto and scenic drive thorough Cabadian Rockies.
