An internationally renowned region of majestic beauty,
the Canadian Rockies showcase an awe inspiring natural wilderness

   
     
     

First, a scenic drive to Kamloops, the gateway to the beautiful Canadian Rockies' parks. Visit towering Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks along the route to Yoho (a native word meaning awe). Our home for the next two nights is the small town of Golden in the valley of the Kicking Horse River.

Upon arrival you may choose to experience the raging Kicking Horse firsthand with an exhilarating half-day whitewater raft ride, or just take a refreshing walk amidst this mountain splendour. The next day, choose to canoe or hike at magnificent Emerald Lake or try the challenging trails overlooking the imposing Takakkaw Falls.

Depart for Banff utilising the superb scenic road via Lake Louise. That night the Banff sunset, viewed while relaxing in mineral hot springs, can be breathtakingly stunning. Following up with an idyllic dinner, and various music offerings accentuate our special night out. The next two days enables one to canoe the Bow River, rent bikes or view the scenic grandeur from a helicopter. Outstanding hikes will be available and, with the abundant wildlife, there is always a good chance of seeing bears.

The Icefields Parkway through the heart of the Rockies is surely one of the world's ultimate drives. Peyto Lake's turquoise hues startle with their brilliance. Parker Ridge Trail rewards one with panoramic views of the Saskatchewan Glacier winding through pristine, mountain-studded terrain. Traverse a portion of the imposing Athabasca Glacier on a guided glacier hike.

Next is Jasper National Park: you may take the cable car to Whistler Mountain for an overview of this splendid park. The next day offers hiking amidst glorious lakeside scenery, or visit Mt. Edith Cavell for tremendous views of Angel Glacier and various hiking options. See Mt. Robson, highest peak (3954m) in the Canadian Rockies, before arriving at our hotel in Caribou country. Kick back and enjoy the swimming pool, before you hop onto a horse for an afternoon ride (optional). After dinner, a relaxing whirlpool and sauna await.

Crossing the Camelsfoot Range, we parallel the Fraser River during a captivating drive, to Vancouver, Canada's most spectacularly situated city. A short tour encompassing Chinatown and Stanley Park's totem poles, leaves the afternoon free for exploration. Dinner in historic Gastown climaxes our day and offers a perfect setting for reliving the excitement we have shared.

The next day, visit Seattle's famous Pike Place Market. Sample America's best coffee or microbeers, explore the waterfronts, browse fine bookstores or ride to the Space Needle's top...a fitting end to an impressive, activity-filled tour.
