   Back on the road , and it’s time to continue north pastthe astonishing Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the shortroad to the base of the Athabaska Glacier .You can rent ice cleats（夹板）and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour .Eitherway, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.
