Alberta – Banff to Jasper
Soaring, snow-clad peaks, crystalline glacial lakes, alpine meadows and countless species of wildlife set the perfect stage for your six-day adventure vacation in the Canadian Rockies. By day, hike wildflower meadows and national park trails – even trek across a glacier. Bike serene forested paths around turquoise lakes, raft the playful rapids of the Kicking Horse River and spend a day hiking Sentinel Pass learning how the spire-topped mountains were formed.

By night, savor a well-earned meal, take a soak in a whirlpool and curl up with a book by a wood- burning fireplace…the perfect finishing touches to a day of adventure in Canada’s beautiful backcountry.
