🌿 Columbia Icefield Adventure: Canada’s Frozen Giant (1)❄️

From Golden, BC, we drove toward the Columbia Icefield—a highway of snow-capped peaks, emerald forests, and glacial rivers. 🏔️🌲 Sunlight sparkled on mountain crowns; waterfalls cascaded down cliffs like liquid silver. 💧 🌿 National Parks Roadtrip: We rolled through Kootenay, Yoho, and Jasper National Parks. In Yoho, we paused to gasp at sapphire lakes—mirror-like surfaces reflecting peaks and sky. 🌊✨ Lucky strike: A herd of plump deer 🦌 grazed nearby, ears twitching as they scanned the woods. 🌉 Wildlife Bridges: Canada’s eco-friendly highways! 🦝 Overpasses let bears, wolves, and deer cross safely—no messy human-animal collisions. Small gesture, huge respect for nature. 🌍 ❄️ Icefield Surprise: Arrival = snowstorm! The world vanished into a white blur—mountains and sky fused into one. 🌫️ 🗻 Columbia Icefield: The largest icefield outside the Arctic! 🧊 A 325 km² giant straddling North America’s continental divide, feeding rivers to the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific. We visited the Athabasca Glacier—ancient ice, crevasses glowing blue. 💙 #CanadaRoadtrip #ColumbiaIcefield #GlacierGawking 🌿❄️
