Tour Description

You’ll travel into Alberta’s Rocky Mountains on an 8-day guided tour, breathing in cool glacial air, wandering through pine forests and gazing up at snow-dusted mountains. In Banff National Park, you pass pale blue lakes, sweeping valleys and limestone peaks before continuing towards the Columbia Icefield, where you see ancient ice glimmering brightly against the horizon. In Jasper National Park, travel between verdant forests, pale stone and high mountain sky. Your Travel Director will take care of everything, leaving you free to enjoy the hush of the forests and the vast sweep of Alberta’s wilderness.
