Overview

This four-hour hiking tour takes place on the Athabasca Glacier near Jasper, Canada. Participants meet ACMG certified guides at the Rockaboo Trailer in the Icefields RV Lot. The guides provide all necessary gear, including hiking poles, crampons, and appropriate footwear. The group then proceeds on foot across rock, snow, and ice terrain, following a tread-lightly approach to minimize environmental impact. The hike covers the glacier and its surrounding features while guides share information about the glacier and the headwaters of the region. Group size is kept small to support an environmentally conscious experience. When conditions allow, the guides may facilitate the use of ropes to explore glacier features more closely or take scientific samples in a safe and controlled manner. The tour includes the use of all equipment and guided glacier walking. Lunch, transportation to the glacier, gratuities, and bottled water are not included.
