Other Information
Photo: Looking south to Mount Christie (left) and Brussels Peak from the Icefields ParkwayOne of the best points for viewing this outstanding mountain is from the Icefields Parkway, a few kilometres north of Ranger Creek. This is the point at which the highway is closest to the mountain. Its massive upper section stands symmetrically on a broad base of horizontal strata. Wide bands of snow linger below the upper cliffs throughout the summer.
