Trails in the Icefields Parkway Area

Mount Athabasca

Mount Athabasca
October 2002: When the trail breaks out of the trees, the alluvial plain of the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River comes into view. The east side of Mount Athabasca, 3491 m, rises across the valley. The northern aspect of Athabasca, from the Athabasca Glacier/Columbia Icefields side, is more familiar.
