I will remember Icefields Parkway from Lake Louise to Jasper as a most beautiful road of the Rockies. There are forests in the colors of the fall, snow-capped mountains, waterfalls and canyons to see – it was busy but just great day! I spend more then two hours at Athabasca Glacier. On the altitude of 2000 m you have a chance to reach quite easy the glacier and even to take a walk on it… I saw before many glaciers in Himalaya, Alaska, South America and Antarctica – I think this is one of the best… There are two methods to jump on the snow. First: to take a mamooth bus from the visitors center – it cost hefty 30 C$ per person. Second: to leave the car at the bottom of the glacier and to walk up to the front and then on the marked area on the snowfield – what a experience in the summer! And completly free! Just take warm hat and windproof jacket – it is cold and windy there…
