The Ultimate Columbia Icefield Helicopter Tour

Soar above the sapphire jewels of Jasper National Park—the Columbia, Lyle, and Wilson icefields. This 55-minute helicopter tour also covers eight major glaciers, spectacular ice and waterfalls, and high alpine meadows.

The ultimate icefield helicopter tour is definitely a unique way to see the peaks and precipices of Jasper National Park's Columbia Icefield. The icefield is one of the world's two hydrological apexes; its waters flow into three different oceans—the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic. (The other hydrological apex is in Siberia!) You'll hover over the icefield's 1,200-foot-thick (366-meter) Snow Dome and the Lyle and Wilson icefields. Before landing, see the Athabasca, Dome, and Stutfield glaciers. Bring your camera—you won't want to forget this view of the Canadian Rockies.
