Vancouver to Calgary<br />
Day 1: Arrive Vancouver<br />
Arrive in Vancouver and spend the day exploring.<br />
You get the best of both worlds in Vancouver: a<br />
cosmopolitan city right on the edge of nature’s<br />
playground. You may like to take the opportunity to<br />
embark on an optional tour to Vancouver’s famed<br />
Granville Island Public Market and wander amid the<br />
vibrant stalls that showcase a range of home-made<br />
craft and art. Alternatively, you may prefer to simply<br />
relax and make use of the facilities at your hotel.<br />
Admission to the lookout at the top of Vancouver<br />
Centre is included.<br />
Day 2: Rocky Mountaineer - Kamloops<br />
Travel onboard the Rocky Mountaineer in SilverLeaf<br />
Service through the Fraser Valley and the scenic<br />
Fraser Canyon, past Hell’s Gate where you will watch<br />
water cascade past the canyon’s walls. On leaving<br />
the Fraser Canyon follow the Thompson River to the<br />
city of Kamloops.<br />
Day 3: Rocky Mountaineer - Jasper<br />
Travel into the snowy peaks of the Monashee and<br />
Cariboo Mountains. Pass by Mount Robson, the<br />
highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at 3954<br />
metres (12,972ft), before entering Jasper National<br />
Park. Arrive in Jasper early evening.<br />
Day 4: Jasper - Evening Wildlife Tour<br />
Today is at your leisure to enjoy the spectacular<br />
wonders of Jasper. This pleasant Alpine village is<br />
nestled amidst some of the most stunning scenery<br />
you’ll find anywhere. Perhaps take a gondola ride<br />
into Jasper’s alpine tundra for stunning views of six<br />
mountain ranges, or maybe a gentle raft ride down<br />
the Athabasca River; then stroll around the village<br />
and relax with a coffee.<br />
This evening experience the Jasper Wonderland<br />
for some amazing close-up photo opportunities of<br />
wildlife. Travel through the Maligne Valley to search<br />
for mountain goats, moose, elk, deer and bears and<br />
perhaps a visit to Pyramid Bench with its beaver<br />
ponds.<br />
Day 5: Jasper - Lake Louise<br />
Depart Jasper by coach today via one of the most<br />
scenic highways in North America - the Icefield<br />
Parkway. Visit the Columbia Icefield that covers an<br />
area of nearly 325 sq km’s and reaches a depth of<br />
320 metres. Time allows for an Ice Explorer ride<br />
(included) on the Athabasca Glacier. Along the<br />
way stops will be made at Bow & Peyto Lakes, the<br />
Crowfoot Glacier and the Athabasca Falls. This<br />
highway is renowned for sightings of bears, elk,<br />
moose & mountain sheep, so keep your camera<br />
handy. A picnic lunch is included today.<br />
Day 6: Lake Louise - Banff<br />
Depart Lake Louise mid-morning for a short drive<br />
via the scenic Bow Valley to Banff. After checking in<br />
at your hotel the remainder of the day is free.<br />
Day 7: Banff Tour - Transfer to Calgary<br />
This morning, tour through the town of Banff and<br />
its environs. Among the highlights are visits to the<br />
Hoodoos (shaped by centuries of wind), Surprise<br />
Corner, Sulphur Mountain (gondola ride included),<br />
and Tunnel Mountain Drive - which overlooks<br />
the splendour of Bow Valley. The balance of the<br />
afternoon is free to enjoy Banff prior to departing<br />
for Calgary at 4.00pm arriving into downtown<br />
Calgary at approx. 5.45pm<br />
