Crowfoot Glacier

Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint is one of the most scenic stops on the Icefields Parkway, located near Bow Lake. Once shaped like a crow’s foot with three distinct toes, the glacier has partially receded over time, but it still creates a dramatic backdrop against the rugged peaks of the Wapta Icefield. The viewpoint is easily accessible with roadside parking, making it a perfect stop to stretch, capture photos, and admire the turquoise waters of Bow Lake shimmering below. On a clear day, the panoramic views here perfectly showcase the raw beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
