Saskatchewan Glacier is not visible from the Icefield Parkway. Most people view it from the Parker Ridge Trail which is a 2.7 km one way hike (250 metre elevation gain).
After a series of switchbacks you’ll be rewarded with dramatic views of the Saskatchewan Glacier – headwaters of the Saskatchewan River which eventually makes its way 550 km to Lake Winnipeg.
