Day 1: We will leave the big bend on the Icefields Parkway. We
will camp on or near the base of the Saskatchewan Glacier.

and start southward across the Castleguard Meadows.
Day 3: Leaving the meadows behind and below we will start up the
north branch of the Castleguard Glacier. We will camp on the north
ridge of Castleguard Mtn.
Day 4: For those inclined to wake up early we can climb Castleguard

we will start across the neve with hopes of setting up camp overlooking
the Athabasca Glacier.

of Mt. Andromeda. After packing up cam we will start down the Athabasca
Glacier and with a little luck get picked up by one of the tourist
ice busses.
