Stanley Glacier

Banff
Stanley Glacier
  • The hike is steep and a moderate level of fitness is recommended.
  • While you can enjoy views of the glacier throughout the hike, the trail does not lead all the way to the glacier so you can’t reach the ice itself (unless you choose to continue past the end of the designated trail).
  • Wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring rain gear—weather can change fast in the Rocky Mountains.
  • Bring water and a snack—the high altitude of the trail means it can be more tiring than expected.
