Full Itinerary
The best of Canada’s West: Jasper, Banff and Glacier National Parks, historic “Gold Rush” towns and raging rivers.

Day 1 Seattle
This city offers plenty of entertainment, from museums and galleries to cosy cafes, parks and beaches.

Days 2-4 Wells Gray Provincial Park
Travel out of the city to Wells Gray Provincial Park, 5,000 square km of wilderness in British Columbia, where there is the option of horse riding or canoeing. Spend evenings camping at a cowboy ranch.

Day 5 Mt Robson Provincial Park
Drive through the stunning Cariboo Mountains and Mt Robson Provincial Park.

Days 6-7 Jasper National Park
Hearts will skip a beat upon seeing Jasper's palette of snow-white or summer-grey mountains and brilliant turquoise lakes, laced by dense pine forests and colossal glaciers. Spot the Canadian Rockies' Big Five - elk, moose, deer, wolf and bears - as well as coyotes and even mountain lions. Perhaps take a gondola ride to Whistler Mountain, hike the park's trails or go mountain biking in the Valley of Five Lakes.

Days 8-10 Banff National Park
Visit Canada's oldest national park; a wondrous collection of valleys and mountain chains formed some 75 million years ago. Traverse the Icefields Parkway through stunning Rocky Mountain scenery, stopping on the way at the Athabasca Glacier. Ever wanted to hitch a ride in an ice mobile? Here, it’s possible. Later, arrive at the Canadian Rockies’ lakes region and admire the views.

Days 11-12 Yoho National Park
One of the lesser-known spots in the Canadian Rockies, Yoho shelters Canada's highest waterfall and a wealth of unique plant and animal species. With ice-blue Kicking Horse River flowing through the valley of the same name, and a symphony of peaks, falls, glacial lakes and meadows, Yoho is a masterpiece. Get active and tackle white-water rapids or simply relax and enjoy the stunning surrounds.

Day 13 Kamloops
With more than 400 glaciers, Glacier National Park is a stunning stop on the way to Kamloops. Pay a visit to Mt Revelstoke National Park which contains part of the world's only temperate inland rainforest and offers stunning views of snow-capped mountains and jagged valleys.

Day 14 Vancouver
Discover why this lakeside city consistently tops the world's best place to live list.

Day 15 Seattle
Head back across the border and into Seattle to say goodbye where this Canadian adventure will end on arrival.


Optional Activities
Riverrafting, canoeing, horseback riding, gondola ride, hikes of various lengths
