Join us for a unique exploration of the Athabasca Glacier on this 4 hour hike across rock, snow and ice. Meet your guide at our Rockaboo Trailer in the Icefields RV Lot, get geared up, and head out on a fully organic, by foot mission to discover some of the hidden wonders of this powerful place. Surrounded by some of the tallest peaks of the range, your guide will walk you through the history of these headwaters, while ensuring your safety and comfort. If conditions allow, we look for an opportunity for people to increase their connection with this landscape by taking scientific samples or using ropes to explore some of these features more intimately in a safe and controlled manner. Group size is small to ensure exploration of the area is environmentally conscious.

    Rockaboo Adventures was fantastic. They were willing to help and answer any questions that they had. This is a fabulous way to get on the glacier in an environmental friendly way. Simon was a great guide and made the trip enjoyable! He shared information as well as determined how far the group could go. This is an experience I would recommend over and over!

    This tour was great. We always felt safe. Our guide was awesome. He was knowledgeable, cared about both the glacier the customers on the hike. We were able to hike up 3/4 of the glacier and see both crevasses and moulins. The moulins look as cool as they look on any National Geographic show. :). If you are debating on how to see the glacier and are able to do a 4 mile hike with roughly 600 ft of elevation gain choose this experience. When you compare it to the groups riding the buses/vehicles up on the glacier it was not even close to the same experience. They only go up maybe 20-25% of the glacier and are stuck in a 100ft by 50ft area. No real ability to see the cool features that make a glacier fun to visit. I’d highly recommend this experience
