    Such an experience

    Part of our tour allowed us to walk on the Skywalk. Even for someone slightly afraid of heights, it was awesome to see the scenery and walk on a glass floor.

    Ice field Parkway Skywalk

    A glass floor and glass sides 300m up the mountain and 30m out from the mountain. Quite exhilarating and manageable even for those not keen on heights.

    Not good if you have Vertigo

    The walk to the skywalk is pleasant. If you suffer from vertigo you can bypass the walk with the glass floor and view the scenery from afar.
