Gem Trek’s COLUMBIA ICEFIELD MAP is designed for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore North America’s largest icefield south of Alaska.
Located beside the Icefields Parkway, the Columbia Icefield is both spectacular and accessible. Whether you are touring along the parkway and taking an Ice Explorer out onto the Athabasca Glacier or heading off to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot, you’ll find our waterproof and tear-resistant Columbia Icefield Map an invaluable tool for making the most of your visit.

It includes detailed descriptions of what to see and do at the icefield, recommended hiking trails, a wildlife-viewing guide, answers to frequently asked questions (How big is the Columbia Icefield?
