7/21
The mountains here in Jasper and Banf National Parks are quite high so there are many with glaciers. One of the highlights of our day was Columbia Glacier. A glacier is a mass of ice which is a least 300 feet thick and moves under the force of gravity. An icefield is a sheet of glacial ice that is trapped by higher surrounding land and which feeds more than one glacier. The Columbia Icefield is one such “lake of ice” and feeds six large glaciers one of which is Columbia. We were able to walk on the glacier but had to walk up hill about ½ mile. As we stepped out on the glacier, we had to climb up hill more. We did not go more than a block as we were afraid one of us might slip and fall. It was an awesome experience. There were many warnings about not walking outside the roped in area. One of the information boards told of a 4 year old boy who in 2001 wandered off from his parents and fell in a crevasse. He was dead of hypothermia before they could rescue him 3 hours later. We saw many majestic mountains, beautiful rivers, emerald lakes, and amazing waterfalls. The awesomeness of God is displayed in these Canadian Rockies. We have learned much about God’s creation while north of the “lower 48”. It had rained off and on for the past 3 days but just as we got to the Park, the sun came out and it was a spectacular day. Thank You, Lord. Shortly after passing through the Park gates it begin to cloud up. We drove on to Calvary where we passed beside the 1988 Olympic Village. We saw the luge track and the ski jumps. We stayed the night at the city park in High River, Montana.
