From the Icefield Museum and ticket hall, you take a shuttle bus up to the edge of the glacier where you then board the big glacier buses. They drive you up the glacier which is 300 feet thick at the point where you get out to walk around and take pictures. Walking outside of the parking area was discouraged but many people do cross the flowing water to get a closer look. They may be receding but they are still very impressive. With the snow pack so large this year I don't think there will be much recession in these glaciers.
