Columbia Ice Fields

I'm not sure about you, but I have driven up and down that highway between Lake Louise and Jasper so many times and thought, "I should stop and check out the Columbia Ice Fields" but never did.

Well, this summer, Lily and I had a little get away to Jasper and we stopped in at the Ice Fields on the way home.

Before we went on this trip and with all the forest fire smoke this summer, we weren't sure we would really experience the best the mountains had to offer.  However, I have to say, the skies truly opened up for us the day we stopped in at the Ice Fields. 

That area has really developed over the years.  There is a fantastic sky walk that I would recommend everyone experience.  We just had a fantastic time.  We even scooped up some Glacier water for Lily's dad to taste.  There was a slight "smoke" flavour in the water, a little like you would taste with some Whiskey's.

I had so many images to choose from.  In this image, we are standing on the glacier and you can see the glacial flow behind us.
