Between Jasper and Lake
Louise, explore a series of ice-age old glaciers form the Icefields Parkway.
Visitors can explore the six massive glaciers at Columbia
Icefield and then drink from its pure water run-off. These colossal monoliths
are slowly retreating and the subsequent meltwaters feed into three different
oceans, a distinction the Icefields share with only one other spot in the entire
world. A succession of rivers, lakes and foothills extend east toward David Thompson
Country—a region named after the great Canadian explorer and geographer who mapped
the area in the late 1700s. Farther east are two towns with historical significance.
Nordegg was once the home of an
important coal mine and Rocky
Mountain House was an integral fur trading post. The region has remained largely
unchanged, making it a popular destination for hiking and backcountry camping.
Outside of the national park, regulated fishing and hunting also attract many
to the area as the unspoiled nature of the region has allowed local wildlife to
thrive.
