Honeymoon- Columbia Icefield

On our way back down from Jasper we stopped to check out the Athabasca Glacier which was part of the Columbia Icefield. First of all it was amazing to see a glacier that close, but it was also amazing to see how much the glacier has shrunk over the past few years. There was a trail that hiked up to the glacier and there were different signs along the path, that marked where the glacier had been during different times. I was kind of sad that we didn't actually get to walk out on the glacier, but it's dangerous, so they limit the number of people who can go out on the glacier. We could have taken a tour, but decided not to. It was still really cool to see though.
