Columbia Icefield from the Air

I had a great opportunity to see one of the most spectacular corners of the Canadian Rockies from the helicopter, from a totally new perspective. After had the opportunity to fly in the Himalaya and was so impressed, I decided to see the mountains in my back yard. Have to admit that our Rockies are as spectacular as anything I saw in the Himalaya. I enjoyed every minute of this experience!
