Crowfoot Glacier

Enjoy a scenic drive along the Icefields Parkway to view the Crowfoot Glacier, perched dramatically on the edge of Crowfoot Mountain. Once resembling a crow's foot with three distinct toes, this glacier has been slowly retreating due to climate change—yet it remains a striking example of the region's glacial history. It’s an excellent spot to pause and admire the power and beauty of nature at high elevation.
