Nice trip report. I think the icefield has receded a bit since my visit in 2009 on my motorcycle trip to Alaska. It has receded a LOT since I saw it in 1976 on my 3000 mile bicycle trip.
BTW, that's the Athabasca Glacier, one of the eight arms of the Columbia Icefield. Water from Columbia Icefields flows to the Atlantic, Pacific, and Artic Oceans, making it the "apex" of the continent.
