Canada - Parks & Mountains of Western Canada (14 days)
This comprehensive journey from Vancouver to Calgary uncovers the natural splendours of Canada's finest national parks. At night we stay in comfortable hotels or mountain lodges and during the day our fully supported walks reveal the diverse landscapes that this area is famous for. From the vast prairies to the dramatic heights of the Rocky Mountains, we discover a vast wilderness of countless alpine lakes and pristine forests set beneath a backdrop of high peaks and tumbling glaciers.
A land of elk, moose, caribou, bighorn sheep, black and grizzly bears of which our guides can spin a tale or two. We also visit the oldest and biggest buffalo jump - "Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump", that Blackfoot Indians have run for hundreds of years. Time in the beautiful Canadian cities of Vancouver and Calgary round off this superb touring adventure.
