Columbia Icefield Tour review. Swipe to see the photos! "An early start but well worth the effort. Quick stop for coffee and a breakfast roll before hitting the Icefield Parkway. First sighting of the day was a huge grizzly bear ambling along on the verge at the opposite side of the road. He posed for some photos then wandered back into the scrub. A guide on our next trip said it could have been “The Boss”, the top bear in the area, which was quite appropriate seeing as our tour bus was also called“The Boss”! Next up was a black bear about an hour further on, again wandering along the roadside but didn’t have time to stop for a chat and scarpered off pretty quickly. Then we got to the foot of the glacier where we stopped for lunch whilst waiting for our slot on the ice bus. Spent about 30 minutes on the glacier itself then headed to the Skywalk which proved jawdropping. A quick regroup and we set of for the return to Banff. Just as we were starting to doze off Max our guide and driver." Jeff, 29th May. Thank you!
