Overnights(2): Sandman Hotel - Calgary
Day 2
Calgary
Widely regarded as the “Gateway to the Rockies”, and home to the famous Stampede, Calgary is a stylish and friendly city. Your morning is at leisure to start to explore this city of contrasts or for some shopping. Visit TD Square, the Eaton Centre or Hudson’s Bay shopping areas, all of which are linked by Calgary’s Plus 15 walkway system. In the afternoon why not take a guided sightseeing tour of the highlights of Calgary – Scotsman Hill, Fort Calgary (the original base of the North West Mounted Police), Stampede Park, the Saddledome and Ski Jump Tower at Olympic Park?

The mountains beckon. Today collect your hire car and drive from Calgary to Banff. On arrival you will check into your hotel and explore at your leisure.
Overnights(2): High Country Inn - Banff
Day 4
Banff
Sometimes regarded as one of the most attractive small towns in North America, Banff is compact enough to comfortably explore on foot. Situated on the doorstep of spectacular scenery, Banff nestles amidst the glory of the Canadian Rockies. With a wealth of attractions, ranging from the Hot Springs to the gondola ride to the summit of Sulphur Mountain, Banff boasts an attractive main street with numerous cafes and craft shops. For the adventurous- why not take a 2-hour trail ride in the mountains or brave the waters of Horsehoe Canyon on a whitewater rafting tour?
Day 5
Banff – Jasper (175 miles)
Enjoy a spectacular drive today through stunning scenery along the Icefields Parkway. En route visit the Columbia Icefield, the largest accumulation of snow and ice in the Rockies and take the ‘snocoach’ ride onto the Athabasca Glacier. Lake Louise, with its sparkling blue waters and mountain goats on Mount Fairview, is also worth a stop as are the thundering Athabasca Falls.
Overnights(2): Marmot Lodge - Jasper
Day 6
Jasper
Enjoy a day at leisure to delight in the peaceful, magnificent surroundings of Jasper National Park. A showcase of glacial blue lakes, long ridge-top hikes, canyons and a world-class golf resort, the town of Jasper is a sleepy sanctuary, known as a refuge for bighorn sheep, elk, deer and moose - all of which have been spotted wandering its streets. A trip to the exquisite Maligne Lake, the second largest glacier-fed lake in the Rockies, is well recommended where a cruise will take you past glacier-studded mountain peaks to world-famous Spirit Island. Try a white-water rafting trip on the Athabasca River.
Days 7-8
Jasper –Sun Peaks (276 miles)
Drive west and then south along the scenic Yellowhead Highway with views of Mt. Terry Fox, Tete Jaune Cache and, at 3954 m. Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. A visit to Wells Gray Park, accessed from Clearwater, en route is recommended. Here you’ll discover a multitude of rapids, cataracts and waterfalls – two of the most spectacular being Dawson Falls and Helmcken Falls. Continue south to Kamloops and to Sun Peaks to enjoy a day at leisure in idyllic surroundings.
Overnights(2): Coast Sundance Lodge - Sun Peaks

Renowned as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Vancouver is home to spectacular natural scenery with breathtaking views in each and every direction, has a bustling metropolitan core and boasts one of the mildest climates in Canada. There are numerous attractions, all within easy reach of downtown; visit Stanley Park, Gastown, Chinatown and Granville Island with its craft workshops and superb restaurants. For a stunning vista of Vancouver and its harbour, take the gondola up Grouse Mountain. Why not take a float-plane flight or go on a whale-watching trip?

| | | | I am writing to you follwing our recent holiday to Canada (C85). I cannot praise you and your organisation too highly for the quality, value and seemless integration of the entire trip. There wasn,t a single thing that could be faulted from booking to return home. The flights, the standard of accommodation, the hire car and even the directions were all A1. I will certainly recommend your company to anyone I know who is considering a trip to Canada. It was withour doubt the best holiday experience I have had. We will certainly be using your services again. one again thanks. You will be hearing from us again and please keep me on any mailings or database.
RTH (Morayshire) | | By RTH - Morayshire | | | | Absolutely superb holiday - your choice of acccommodation was spot on - Lac Le Jeune was inspired. Can't wait to book again. Never thought we'd see and do so many wonderful things - thank you again.
