Description

The next day we boarded the luxury motor coach and started our day of touring at the Athabasca Falls. At the falls a deep canyon has been formed by the Athabasca River which cuts through the hard quartzite rock. The headwater comes from the Columbia Glacier located about 43 miles (70 kilometers) to the south. This is considered to be one of the most spectacular falls in the Rocky Mountains.

The next stop was the Columbia Ice field, a highlight of the week of touring. The Columbia Ice field has an area of 130 square miles (325 square kilometers), and it is the largest body of ice in the Rocky Mountains. The greatest thickness of the ice is estimated to be 1200 feet (365 meters). The ice field straddles the Continental Divide, feeds six major outlet glaciers, and three of Canada's largest rivers. A snocoach takes people out to the Athabasca Glacier where you get out and walk around. It was snowing when we were on the ice, and we found it very interesting.
