Departure Dates
May - September
This journey will take you along one of the most spectacular scenic highways in the world, with the drive from Banff to Jasper requiring many stops to breathe in the clear air, gaze in wonder at the pine-clad snow-capped mountains and be amazed at the incredible aquamarine waters of the glacial lakes. Stopping off in these rustic towns will also give you a chance to venture out in search of black bears, moose and big horn sheep.
Leaving Alberta, head into British Columbia where further adventures await in Wells Gray Provincial Park and Gold Bridge, with horse riding, mountain hikes and outstanding wildlife opportunities in beautiful surroundings.
Your days on the road will afford spectacular vistas around each corner and should be embraced as part of the adventure. With so many photo opportunities you are sure to make many stops and there are opportunities along the way for short hikes, picnic breaks and wildlife observation. Be sure to have your camera at the ready!
Finally, spend a little time in the mountain resort of Whistler before heading to Vancouver, one of the country's most vibrant cities, where more urban and coastal exploration, and maybe just a little bit of shopping, is on the agenda.
If you would like to extend your stay in Canada you may also include Vancouver Island for the full spectrum of Canadian wildlife including orcas, bald eagles and grizzly bears.
This suggested itinerary is just an example of possibilities available for trips to this area. Price is dependant on season, standard of accommodation and length of stay.
