The crowfoot glacier is located in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. This awesome sight greets you 20 miles north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway. The glacier has melted back considerably since it was discovered and named, but two of the three “toes” remain. The top toe is over 150 feet thick (as high as a 10 story building) where it runs along the ridge. The lakes in this region are a beautiful turquoise color from the limestone and mineral sediment from the mountains, carried by the glacial runoff in the summer months.
