two national parks\u2014Banff and Jasper\u2014touching over a hundred glaciers, alpine meadows, turquoise lakes, and limestone cliffs.<br>Completed in 1940 as a Depression-era public works project, it was originally built by hand.<br>But long before asphalt, this route was used by Indigenous groups such as the Nakoda and Cree peoples, as a seasonal passageway guided by stars, rivers, and glacial shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Columbia Icefield\u2014the largest south of the Arctic\u2014sits like a frozen throne in the distance.<br>Water that melts from its snowcaps flows into three oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic.<br>In every direction, gravity and geography co-author a story of erosion, creation, and endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
