The Iceline Trail in Yoho National Park is a must-do for hikers seeking phenomenal alpine views without the need for scrambling. Gaining 700 metres of elevation over a 20-kilometre loop, this challenging trek rewards with panoramic vistas of glaciers, waterfalls, and towering peaks.

Starting near Takakkaw Falls, the trail quickly ascends to a high-alpine bench, where hikers enjoy sweeping views of the Emerald Glacier and Yoho Valley. While demanding, the well-defined path makes it an accessible challenge for fit hikers.

For an extended adventure, loop options pass through Little Yoho Valley and the Stanley Mitchell Hut. Whether tackled as a full-day hike or an overnight trip, the Iceline Trail is one of the most breathtaking hikes in the Rockies.
