Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife at the edges of the forest. Dig into a hearty mountain picnic and take a photo stop at Bow Lake, one of the largest glacier-fed lakes in Banff National Park, against the backdrop of the Crowfoot Glacier. Visit Waterfowl Lake, a stunning glacier lake set against Mt. Chephren. Upon arrival at the Columbia Icefield, climb aboard the Ice Explorer, a six-wheeled behemoth of a vehicle, and drive across the surface of this glittering sheet of ice. Quench your thirst with a drink of pure, cold water straight from the glacier. Get back on road and head to the glass floor Glacier Skywalk, hanging from the edge of the Sunwapta Valley at 918 feet, for unparalleled views of the canyon below and mountains around you.
