The icefield is shared by Banff National Park Banff and Yoho National Park s and numerous outlet glaciers extend from the icefield, including the Vulture Glacier Alberta, Canada Vulture , Bow Glacier Bow and Peyto Glacier s. Runoff from the icefields and outlet glaciers supply water to both the Kicking Horse River Kicking Horse and Bow River s, as well as numerous streams and lakes. The icefield is one of the most studied in the Canadian Rockies and all evidence supports the conclusion that the icefield is shrinking in area, especially near the lowest altitudes of its outlet glaciers, including Peyto Glacier, in which the glacier has become both shorter in length and thinner in thickness. In the 1980s the icefield covered an area of approximately 80 km 30 miles . The icefield is easily accessible by mountaineers in both the summer and winter.
