Travel Columbia Ice Fields Scenic Flight

Small aircraft flight over the largest icefield in the North American Rockies.

We flew this scenic tour of the Columbia Icefields and surrounding peaks with Alpenglow Aviation (no longer in business) out of Golden, BC in 2004. Sadly, I did not yet own a GPS and GPS-enabled smart phones were not a thing in 2004, so there's no track available of our flight path.

Some of my favorite shots are highlighted here, with the full gallery below.

The entirety of the Athabasca glacier (above). It's a lot smaller now.
