My first stop was the Lake Louise Ski Area lift.

Traveling along the Icefields Parkway, Crawfoot Glacier was west of the road.

Glacier-fed Bow Lake, with a red cabin providing an interesting contrast.
Many waterfalls could be seen along the road, including this glacier-fed one.

Very scenic lakes are also experienced.

Athabasca Glacier. People can be seen walking on it. I also had the opportunity to walk on it.
A closer look at the glacier.
Further up the glacier, special six-wheeled transports will take people onto the glacier for a tour.
This is a good example of the scraping that occurred when the glacier passed over this rock.
This picture was taken from the glacier, looking back at the parking area. In the background is the main Visitor Center for the area. Many interesting and informative displays are available.
Looking back at the glacier from the parking area.
The glacier silt in the river creates the milky look.
Athabasca Falls.
Testing my wide-angle lens near the falls.
Several trails allow the visitor to view the falls from many directions.
The remaining pictures are from the different viewpoints.
This was a very pretty waterfall!
