Coming Soon: Touring the Icefields Parkway
Emerald Waters at Lake Louise


Lake Louise, with the Victoria Glacier in the background.
It's one of the highlights of my Highway to Heaven trip with Brewster Tours. Think of it as armchair mountain adventure.

Lake Louise is at the southern end of the Icefields Parkway that runs from Jasper to Lake Louise. National Geographic says The Icefields Parkway is one of the 10 greatest drives in the World.

Coming Soon: Touring the Icefields Parkway
Athabasca Glacier from Old Bridge


An unusual view of the Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Icefield. The Athabasca Glacier is the most visited glacier in North America.
But most people won't see it from this perspective. To see this, you have to get out of the car or bus and put your hiking shoes on. And that's a lot easier if you've stayed at the Glacier View Inn or a nearby campground.
