August 3, 2015: The two RV Gypsies took the shuttle from the Columbia Icefields Glacier Discovery Centre to the Glacier Skywalk (which is the only way to get there). Then they walked on the cliff-edge walkway that was filled with nature inspired interpretive exhibits. (There is a charge, which must be paid at the Discovery Centre.) |

(Note: Nobody can bring a camera, purse or anything else on the Grand Canyon Skywalk. They limit the number of people on the Skywalk, and they take photos and sell them to you).
BUT HERE there are no restrictions at the Glacier Skywalk. However there were lots of people everywhere so it was difficult to take photos, not just of each other, but even the scenery photos often had somebody's hand or more in the photo. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies
on the Glacier Skywalk. They had to take turns standing at opposite
ends of the skywalk and zooming in to get photos of each other. It took
a lot of patience because people kept walking in front of them, (for
example - the person in the photo that just walked in front of Karen
Duquette). Did he not wonder why she had her arms outstretched??? |

Then the two RV Gypsies took the shuttle back to the Icefield Centre Discovery Center and went on the Athabasca Glacier Adventure. |
