Jeane zoomed in on the glacier to showcase the road our initial bus took to travel across the lateral moraine (still full of ice) to the point where an Ice Explorer picked us up and carried us across the Athabasca Glacier. You can see several buses here, as well as tiny dots toward the bottom of the glacier that are hikers. Toward the left-hand side you can see the staging area where we switch buses; the road leading downhilll to the glacier is a 32% grade!
