The most beautiful parks in the Rockies combined with
British Columbia's incomparable coastline and a great
variety of activities.
Heading north from
Seattle, our Canada adventure tour enters beautiful
British Columbia and the first night stop will be
a campground in the Fraser Valley area. Heading east
via Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National parks, the
next stop is Yoho National Park - the name derives
from a Cree word for "wonder" or "astonishment"
and it fits!
As well as some great hiking, there
is an option to raft the aptly named Kicking Horse
River. Over the Continental Divide and into the heart
of the Rockies, the next stop is at Banff - the area's
tourist hub. Here you can bike, hike or take the scenic
aerial tramway for a bird's eye view. A soak in Sulphur
Mountain's hot springs is included. From Banff it
is just a short drive to beautiful Lake Louise and
stunning Moraine Lake - surely the most photographed
lake in the Rockies!
The tour continues along the spectacular
Icefields Parkway past the turquoise hues of Peyto
Lake to Jasper National Park for the next two days.
The biggest park in the region, Jasper offers spectacular
mountain scenery on a grand scale. The road to Wells
Gray Provincial Park passes Mount Robson, Canada's
highest peak at 3954 metres. Horse
riding or canoeing on Clearwater Lake or a hike to
the impressive Helmcken Falls are among the options
available here.
Continuing
westwards the next overnight stop is at Whistler,
best-known as a ski resort, but a lively summer destination
too. The next day entails a ferry crossing to Vancouver
Island where the next 2 nights will be spent at Tofino
on the edge of the ruggedly beautiful Pacific Rim
National Park. Whale watching is a seasonal highlight
here.
Then it's back to the mainland
to the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver and a chance
to sample the city's great restaurants and nightlife
before heading back over the border to Seattle where
the tour ends.
