The Skywalk provides a magnificent view of the valley and the edge of the Columbia icefields in Jasper National Park, Alberta Canada. Tickets can be obtained at the interpretative centre. I caution any visitors in that our visit to the ice field was not without mishap. We were left by our bus on the field, and treated poorly by a couple of the students working for the operator, even personally offending one of our group. The interaction definitely left a poor taste in our mouths, and given the price for the excursion, should not have happened.
