    Columbia Icefield Glacier & Centre - Lots of pictures of Riley

    Columbia Icefield Glacier & Centre

    A drive along the Icefields Parkway is spectacle enough, but the true revelation arrives once the…read morespecialized ice explorer rolls out onto the Athabasca Glacier itself. Standing atop thousands upon thousands of years of compressed ice offers a rare, humbling perspective, a visceral reminder that human presence on this planet is but a flicker against timescales the mind can scarcely grasp. The center itself supports the experience admirably, with a cafeteria, gift shop, and viewing deck that let guests linger over the vista before or after their excursion. Yet the retreat of the ice is impossible to ignore, and it lends the whole outing an unexpectedly elegiac quality. This is not merely a bucket-list photo opportunity but a quiet meditation on impermanence, on how even the grandest natural monuments are not exempt from change. Service is the true differentiator here; an enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide turns a simple sightseeing stop into something closer to pilgrimage. If there is room for improvement, clearer signage around parking and the walk to the ticket counter would spare arriving guests some early confusion. An essential, thought-provoking excursion that pairs natural wonder with a gentle warning. Highly recommended, with sincere hope that this icefield remains for generations still to come.

    The Columbia Icefields Center is the prime spot for getting tickets primarily for the Athabasca…read moreGlacier and Skywalk. You can do either one or a combination of the two. I prebooked through Get your Guide however if you go this route, you still need to check in at the ticket counter to receive a physical copy of your ticket. Both the Glacier and Skywalk tours were worth it. The guides for both itineraries were insightful and on time. The Center itself is big. They have a Starbucks, a nice patio viewing deck that overlooks the Athabasca Glacier (great for photos btw) and a gift shop with restaurant on the premises. I was a little confused as to where to park. I accidentally entered in on the bus drop off side. Drive a little more west, past the facility, to find the public parking area. There is an elevator at ground level but if you choose to, be prepared to walk up a significant number of stairs to get to the entrance since the main entrance/ticket area is on the 2nd floor.

    they have a fudge station and we went to check it out. I…read moreasked for a sample which was provided and I broke it into 2 pieces and shared it with my partner. I then requested a 2nd sample which I broke into 3 pieces and shared it with my 2 partners. we committed to purchase one of the samples tried and bought approx $7 worth of fudge paying cash. when I asked for a 3rd sample to try a different flavor , I was told its one sample per person. and we did have 3 people and only 2 samples had been served. I reminded her that we were 3 people and she had only given samples. we left the counter and were looking for jade/rocks. I went back to the counter and asked the lady why she denied me the 3rd sample - on what grounds ? . In other words I was asking her to apologize but she would not and said she would give me another free sample . I told her the purpose of my asking her why she did not offer a 3rd sample was not to get one but to determine if she discriminates vs people of a different color/race . She was furious and refused to answer my question. I will never visit this place ever.

    Hadn't been in this shop for years, but someone needed to pick up some fudge for friends back home,…read moreso we stopped by. Forget the fudge, I could have spent hours in here browsing through fantastic kitchen gadgets. Camping raclette? Check. Lemon mister/zester? Check. Silicone utensils of every shape and size? Check. What a nice surprise! There's also, of course, lots of gemstones, jewelry and a little tourist kitsch, as well as some really cute little gifts like handmade ornaments. It was just a quick stop-in on the way back home, but I'll definitely be stopping by this neat little shop the next time we visit Jasper.
