What's this trip about?

    Explore the untouched beauty and diverse ecology of the Canadian Rockies during this unique tour that traverses the best of the Canadian Rockies. This epic eight day journey explores three famous national parks starting with a drive through the ranchlands and rolling foothills surrounding Calgary. You'll visit Banff National Park's spectacular highlights with an unforgettable ride up the Banff Gondola. At the summit, a peak-to-peak walkway connects Sulphur Mountain to a historic stone weather station on Sanson's Peak. The journey continues along the Icefields Parkway, surrounded by towering peaks, hanging glaciers, and cascading waterfalls. The Columbia Icefields will top off this amazing journey, as visitors set foot on the Athabasca Glacier and experience the thrill of standing on a glass walkway high above the Sunwapta Valley at the Glacier Skywalk. Explore the incredible scenery of Jasper National Park, and stroll the lakeshore trail beside the emerald waters Lake Louise and the trails of Sun Peaks village. This trip features all the must-see and must-do experiences of the Rockies, with ample opportunities to spot wildlife along the way.
