Crowfoot Glacier
Banff, Canada
Crowfoot Glacier is a classic valley glacier located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains within Banff National Park. Named for its distinctive shape resembling a crow's foot, it is surrounded by steep mountain walls and is part of a larger glacial system, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
The best times to visit Crowfoot Glacier are in late spring and summer when the weather is milder and hiking trails are accessible. A short walk along the lookout point offers a chance to admire the glacier and the turquoise waters of Bow Lake nearby. Keep in mind that the area can be prone to quickly changing weather conditions.

“I had previously booked another tour for Banff but decided to add this one because it seemed to feature more lakes. Who would find The Rockies dull to see twice? Our guide was fantastic and even spotted some mountain goats, stopping for us to admire them from afar. I appreciated that we visited Lake Louise early, making our hike to the viewing platform comfortable. We explored numerous lakes, many from unique angles compared to the other tour, which was enjoyable. The guide also led us on a short hike to a fantastic viewpoint that was less known to other tourists, providing a more secluded experience. It was a wonderful trip, and I'm glad I joined! A confirmation text a day or two in advance would be helpful, as I had to reach out myself for details.”— Agdjdijehudhdu on the Full-day tour of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake via Icefields Parkway tour
