Icefields Parkway Heli Tour
As the helicopter lifts off from the ground and rises higher, the immensity of the landscape is unbelievable. Give your mind a few moments to catch up with the scene unfolding before your eyes. Sparkling braided riverbeds give way to rocky summits amidst a sea of glacial ice that seems to flow as you look down at it. Lose yourself in endless views of peaks beyond peaks, as far as the eye can see as you hover over this majestic landscape.
