Iconic Lakes, Peaks & Glaciers in the Canadian Rockies
Breathtaking. It's an interesting word. Being humbled by the land is a different kind of "breath taking." Rafting on a glacier-fed river. Hiking a slot canyon. Biking among crystalline lakes. Elk. Bighorn sheep. It's the difference between "taking it in" and "diving in." Some vacations are about catching your breath. This one's about losing it.
Highlights
- Discover natural and historic treasures by bike, foot and boat through Banff and Jasper National Parks
- Walk on the massive Athabasca Glacier's icy lunar landscape alongside our informative mountain guides
- Hike gorgeous alpine trails in the lovely Bow Falls and the Valley of Five Lakes
- Navigate the glacier-fed rapids of the Athabasca River in a Class II float and take in majestic mountain scenery from the water
