completing the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885.<br />
Enter Rogers Pass, with its tunnels, snow-sheds and<br />
glistening Glaciers. The Kicking Horse River leads<br />
you to Kicking Horse Pass, the Spiral Tunnels and<br />
over the Continental Divide to Banff for a 2 night<br />
stay.<br />

Corner, Bow Falls and Lake Minnewankal past. At<br />
the end of the tour you will be taken to the Banff<br />

1050 feet. Enjoy a ride on the Athabasca Glacier<br />
and a visit to the award-winning Glacier Skywalk<br />
to experience a glass-floored observation platform<br />
918 feet over spectacular glacier-formed valleys and<br />
rushing waterfalls. Photo stops along the Parkway<br />
will be made at Bow & Peyto Lakes, the Crowfoot<br />
Glacier and the Athabasca Falls. This highway is<br />
renowned for sightings of bears, elk, moose &<br />
