Itinerary:
Days 1 - Seattle and Paul Lake Provincial Park On the first day, the trail at Paul Lake Provincial Park offers a lovely setting for a chance to get acquainted with your new travelling companions, while loosening those legs for the rich variety of trails that lie ahead.
Accommodation: Camping with meals includedDays 2-4 - Jasper National Park Fill the next three days with some amazing walks and hikes, around Maligne Canyon, Mount Baldy, Opal Mountain and Five Lakes, which exemplify the serenity of Jasper National Park. Conditions permitting, hike the trails at the base of Mt. Edith Cavell, while listening for the thunderous echoes of huge chunks of ice falling from hanging glaciers or take a non-walking day and mountain bike, canoe or just ride the gondola to the top of Whistler Mountain. With a wide array of wildlife, keep your eyes peeled for grizzlies, wolves and Bighorn sheep.
Accommodation: Camping with meals includedDays 5-7 - Banff National Park Leaving Jasper for Banff National Park, witness one of the world's most beautiful drives, the Icefields Parkway, and experience some of its jewels close up: walk along the brink of Sunwapta or Athabasca Falls, explore Athabasca Glacier on our included guided tour, and stand in awe high above the powder-blue surrealism of Peyto Lake.
With three days to explore the incredible diversity of this national park consider hiking to one of the famous teahouses near Lake Agnes complete with breathtaking views of Lake Lousie. While the extra effort required to reach Plain of Six Glaciers will soon be forgotten when you are photographing the nearby glacier. Hike through Sentinel Pass to the startling views of Lake Moraine or take the easier route and just stroll the shoreline. Revive those muscles with a soak in Banff's naturally heated hot pools, rent a canoe, get back on the trail, check out the wildlife or just enjoy the spectacles of this wondrous park.
Accommodation: Camping with meals includedDays 8-9 - Yoho National Park Heading into Yoho National Park consider white-water rafting on the aptly named Kicking Horse River. Yoho offers what is truly one of the world's great one-day walks, the Iceline Trail (conditions permitting) or take the shorter route via Twin Falls or over the pass, to Emerald Lake. For an easier option walk to the base of Takkakaw Falls and relax under the pine trees as the highest waterfall in Canada free falls 1000 feet. No matter what option you choose, all will agree that Yoho National Park is wild and wonderful - Canada at its best!
Accommodation: Camping with meals includedDays 10 - British Columbia Provincial Park Leaving Yoho, we head back towards civilisation, but we're not there just yet, with one more British Columbia Provincial Park and one last beautiful trail walk to enjoy.
Accommodation: Camping with meals includedDays 11 - Vancouver Today is spent on Canada's rugged west coast, in the most vibrant of North American cities, Vancouver. Take in the magnificent skyline from the footpaths of Stanley Park or stroll along English Bay Beach at sunset before topping off the evening with dinner in historic Gastown.
Accommodation: Camping with meals includedDays 12 - Vancouver to Seattle Returning to the Emerald City, don't miss the view from the top of Seattle's famous Space Needle for the ultimate end to a great tour.
Tours ends at approx 17:00 hours in Seattle on day 12.
