I made a stop at Bow Lake.
Followed by a mandatory stop to see Num-Ti-Jah Lodge for my first time. It is otherwise called The Lodge at Bow Lake.
Mandatory Peyto Lake stop and shots.
As I continued driving, I kept on getting this beautiful view on the Icefield Parkway.
Then we got to the Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure office. Sadly, we missed our tour by 5 minutes because of traffic on the way and very slow cars going below the speed limit. Well, we got help and got on another bus an hour later.
We get on this bus for a 5 minutes drive.
To get on this gigantic monster. One tire alone is taller than my Honda Accord.
The monster bus took us on a 10 minute very slow and bumpy ride to the Glacier. We got to take pictures, drink Glacier water and I even carried 2 bottles full of Glacier water to drink.
After this, the monster bus took us back to where we got on the regular bus and it dropped us off at the Skywalk. Then it started raining a lot. I do not really like heights like that, so when I walked onto the Skywalk, it was not a very good feeling. Then the rain made the glass wet and slippery. So, half of the glass of the Skywalk was blocked off by the staff while one member of the staff was busy cleaning the water off the other half part that was open. Water was quickly building up on the glass floor and making it very slippery and unsafe for visitors. Yet, people were still on it, walking and taking their pictures without minding the risk of falling.
