If you only have time for one short hike on the Icefields Parkway - make sure it's this one!

Parker Ridge is a short, but quite steep hike with exceptional views of Saskatchewan glacier. It's just a bit over 6 km round trip, with around 300 meters of elevation gain. Something we like to call an amazing effort-to-reward ratio hike.
