Parker Ridge Trailhead

The Parker Ridge Trail is a must-do for those seeking a short hike with a big reward. The 2.4-mile round-trip trail ascends to a ridge with sweeping views of the Saskatchewan Glacier and the surrounding icefield. Though the hike is moderately steep, the stunning vistas at the top make it well worth the effort.
