❄️ Glacier Skywalk – Walk on the Edge in the Canadian Rockies

Ready to walk among giants? The Glacier Skywalk in the Columbia Icefield region of the Canadian Rockies offers jaw-dropping views of ancient glaciers, towering peaks, and deep valleys — all from a glass-floored platform that extends dramatically out over the Sunwapta Valley. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that combines awe-inspiring nature with just the right amount of adrenaline. The partial see-through glass floors give thrill-seekers an exciting edge, while those who prefer solid ground can still enjoy panoramic views without looking down. --- 🌟 Highlights Suspended walkway that juts out 280 meters above the valley floor Surrounded by glaciers, waterfalls, rugged peaks, and wildlife Partial glass flooring for added thrill (but not full-glass, so still manageable for most) Photo ops at every step — seriously, you’ll want your camera Educational exhibits on glacial geology and ecosystems nearby --- 📌 Practical Info 📍 Location: Icefields Parkway, Alberta, Canada (near Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre) 🎫 Tickets required (often paired with Columbia Icefield Adventure tours) 🕒 Open seasonally, typically May to October 🧥 Dress warm — even in summer, it can be chilly at this elevation 👟 Wear comfortable shoes — light walking involved --- Whether you're here for the thrill, the views, or the chance to learn about Canada's wild glacial past, the Glacier Skywalk is a must-do stop along one of the world’s most scenic drives. #GlacierSkywalk #IcefieldsParkway #CanadianRockiesViews #GlacierAdventure #GlassBridgeThrills #NatureAndAdrenaline #TripcomTips

Banff and Jasper really leave a lasting impression! Even after being back for a week, looking through photos still makes me feel it wasn't enough. We chose to go in mid-June
