More than 400 glaciers continue to sculpt the landscape, carving the Columbia Mountains and feeding the crystal-clear rivers. Explorations range from simple wooden boardwalks to multi-day glacier crossing adventures. A wide range of wildlife makes this park their home.

You can discover the fascinating story of Rogers Pass National Historic Site on "Abandoned Rails Trail", "Loop Brook Trail", and at "Glacier House", the ruins of one of Canadian Pacific's great hotels of the past. Located at the summit of the pass, the Rogers Pass Centre includes a theatre, a hall of railway models and natural history exhibits. The Rogers Pass Centre is a definite stop and is open year round.

Mountaineering in North America got its start in this part of the Columbia Mountains. The park offers many classic mountaineering routes, mostly on quartzite and schist. The alpine is heavily glaciated in the region, and snow can persist until mid-summer.
