Columbia Ice Field

A short drive from Banff National Park is another national park, that holds the Columbia Ice Fields. These are a series of interconnected glaciers. The major attraction is the ability to actually take a large bus onto the glacier itself and walk around on it!

Ever been on a glacier before? It's awesome. I am running out of adjectives to describe how beautiful and extraordinary this part of Canada is. The buses actually have 8 feet tall wheels. You have heard of Monster Trucks? These were Monster Buses.

Some smart visitors brought empty water bottles with them, which they filled up with melting water at the top of the glacier when we got off the bus. I have never tasted water so pure and refreshing. Better than any bottled water in the market. If someone could find a way to bottle glacier water, they would make a fortune. Maybe they already have.
