Alberta, Canada Road Trip: Day 4 (Columbia Ice Field Adventure With Skywalk) part 2

The Ice Explorer bus dropped us off at the same spot where we took it earlier, then transfered to a bus that would take us to the skywalk. The Columbia Icefield Skywalk is a glass-bottomed bridge just north of the Athabasca Icefield and is a popular stop on the Icefield Parkway.

This part was a test of fortitude for me. This was a knee-shaking experience, but I bested my fear of heights - barely!

Then back to the Discovery Center to end this wonderful afternoon here in Banff.

    Gorgeous sights! The skywalk looks rather intimidating to me though - I'm not fond of heights!

    I walked the Skywalk during our visit to the icefield. The Ice may have retreated somewhat since our visit over 10 years ago.

    Congratulations Maria -- taking that skywalk took courage. I'd probably do it too for the views, but I too would be shaking.
