The second day I was off to Columbia icefields, which was f**king AMAZING!!! I went on one of these huge bus things onto the glacier where it was snowing.
The part of the glacier we were standing on, the ice and snow was 100 metres deep! There were only certain areas we could walk on because everywhere else there were "holes" in the snow that you could fall into that were filled with this eerie blue glacier water.
Very excellent! There was a tour grop of French Canadian dudes who brought cups so they could have a drink of the glacier water flowing everywhere. They said it tasted like whisky (Crown Royal!), and were making jokes about getting drunk on the glacier.
Really it's just a bunch of ice and snow on mountains, but there was still something so amazing about standing on them. That snow had been there for hundreds of years, building up and melting away season after season. When we were up there he temperature was somewhere in the minus and it was snowing!
