2The Parker Ridge To Saskatchewan Glacier Hike

Banff

This hike covers a distance of 5.4 kilometers out and back and has an elevation of 250 meters. Some sources report this hike to be moderately difficult. Others report it to be one of the park’s “least challenging.” What they do agree on is that it is one of the best hikes here.  

The trailhead is on the Icefields Parkway’s west side a few kilometers from the official Banff-Jasper border. The path to the striking glacier is generally wide-open and offers surprisingly expansive views on most of the hike. Enjoy the views of Mount Andromeda, Mount Athabasca, and Cirrus Mountain. If you love colorful wildflowers, take the trek in the summer when it is famously blanketed with them.
