Today is our last long ride as we continue northward to Sunwapta Falls and through the Columbia Icefield Glaciers!
Our lunch stop was at the Columbia Icefield Parkway Visitor Center. The icefield glaciers used to come down to the highway but now are about a mile away from the road. In one of the pictures, you can see some little dark things on the ice fields....those are tourist buses with special tires that they take out on the glacier itself!
As we approached the hotel, there was a road to the left which went up to Sunwapta Falls, a very dramatic narrow channel of intense water flow.
