Overview

Join us for a unique exploration of the Athabasca Glacier on this 4 hour hike across rock, snow and ice. Meet your guide at our Rockaboo Trailer in the Icefields RV Lot, get geared up, and head out on a fully organic, by foot mission to discover some of the hidden wonders of this powerful place. Surrounded by some of the tallest peaks of the range, your guide will walk you through the history of these headwaters, while ensuring your safety and comfort. If conditions allow, we look for an opportunity for people to increase their connection with this landscape by taking scientific samples or using ropes to explore some of these features more intimately in a safe and controlled manner. Group size is small to ensure exploration of the area is environmentally conscious.

Amazing Hiking Experience on a Glacier

Published on Sep, 2024

This was an excellent experience located at the Columbia Ice fields. We were very pleased with our hike with Martin and were glad we opted for the tread lightly glacier hike over the other offerings (such as the bus ride) offered by the Ice fields itself. This was amazing and took about 4 hours to go up to the top of the first ice wall stopping at a few other experiences along the way. Dress in layers & bring water and you will have a great time! Highly recommend!

Great!

Absolutely loved this experience! Our guide Sarah was so nice and helpful. She even took us nearly to the very top of the glacier! Would highly recommend to those who like hiking.

Sarah was terrific!
