Across two weeks, you’ll travel from Canada’s forested west coast to the open skies of the U.S., with your Travel Director guiding the way. In Vancouver, the cedar-scented trails of Stanley Park lead you to its famous totem poles, their carved figures and painted details standing among the trees. On Maligne Lake, your boat glides across still mountain water, sending the reflection of the Rockies rippling gently behind you. At Glacier Skywalk, glass lies beneath your feet as the Sunwapta Valley drops away below, with waterfalls spilling down the rock and the chance to spot wildlife in the distance. Banff National Park surrounds you with forest, stone and cool alpine air, with the choice to sweep above the peaks by helicopter or drift by gondola through the mountains as they slowly open around you. In Washington, lunch brings artisanal flavours together with local wines, before Seattle’s Pike Place Market fills the air with the call of vendors and the quick flash of fresh catch passing from stand to stand.

This morning, enjoy a visit to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park - home to Vancouver's first visitor attraction, the original suspension bridge built in 1889. Today, the park also includes Cliffwalk, a cantilevered walkway clinging to the granite cliff, and Treetops Adventure, seven suspension bridges through the evergreens taking you over 100ft above the forest floor. After your visit, head out on an orientation tour of Vancouver, including Gastown, Canada Place and Stanley Park, home to a collection of First Nations totem poles. This afternoon board a ferry and sail through the beautiful Gulf Islands to Vancouver Island, and idyllic place known for its fishing and art communities. You’ll end your day here in British Columbia’s stunning capital city, Victoria.

Then join your Travel Director for an orientation tour, with panoramic views from Mount Tolmie and stops at the Inner Harbour, the Parliament Buildings and Canada’s oldest Chinatown. See the last remaining traces of Fort Victoria before enjoying a free afternoon. For a closer look at local wildlife, consider an Optional Experience whale watching cruise along Victoria’s coastal waters.
Victoria to Sun Peaks, British Columbia

Travel along Coquihalla highway and climb the summit of Coquihalla Pass and cross Thompson Plateau, passing along forests of Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine, Douglas firs and ponderosa pines. Continue to Sun Peaks where you'll end a day of unbelievably scenic travel with dinner.
The Alpine Wonderland of Jasper National Park
After breakfast, your journey takes you along the legendary Yellowhead Highway towards Jasper National Park, part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enroute, a stop will be made at the Mount Robson Visitor Center in Mount Robson Provincial Park, the second oldest park in British Columbia's park system and truly one of the world’s crown jewels. Enjoy the best views of Mount Robson, which at 12,972 ft (3,954 meters) is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range and the highest point in the Canadian Rockies. Arrive in the wonderland of Jasper National Park with its soothing mineral hot springs, rugged glaciers, colourful meadows, and majestic mountain. After a brief orientation tour through town, you'll have the option to explore on our own or book onto an optional Float Trip.
Exploring Jasper and the Columbia Icefield
Start the day on a narrated cruise across the serene waters of the iconic Maligne Lake (seasonal), one of the jewels of the Canadian Rockies. Stop at Spirit Island, one of the most photographed sites in the Canadian Rockies. Travel along the majestic Icefields Parkway and arrive at the Columbia Icefield for your stay at the Glacier View Lodge, the first and only glacier-view resort in Canada. Venture out onto the amazing Glacier Skywalk where you will be treated to an after-hours visit onto the cliff-edged glass-floored walkway. After enjoying a gourmet dinner with wine, you can step out onto the Viewing Deck, sip a drink in the library or relax inside the Moraine Lounge.
Icefields, Glaciers and Lakes to Banff National Park
Following a hearty breakfast, your Local Specialist will escort you to a special before-hours glacier tour. Venture out onto Athabasca Glacier in an Ice Explorer. Then, join your guide for a stroll atop the ice and discover the beauty and immensity of the glacier. Learn about the history and geology of the region. After this morning's icy adventure, continue south to Lake Louise and admire its blue waters and Victoria Glacier. You'll have the opportunity to feel truly immersed in nature as you spend a portion of your afternoon here. Journey on to the resort town of Banff, your home for the next two nights. This evening, dine in town and unwind in your stunning natural surroundings.

The rest of the day is yours to spend exploring the rugged charms of the park. Choose from several optional experiences, including a once in a lifetime helicopter flight over the magnificent Canadian Rockies, or a ride onboard the Banff Gondola, a scenic cableway that can take you to the summit of Sulphur Mountain.
Glacier National Park
From craggy plains to mountainous landscapes, today you’ll cross the U.S. border into Montana to Glacier National Park. Revel in your first encounter with the park, a region encompassing over 1 million acres -- including parts of two mountain ranges, over 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is the centrepiece of what has been referred to as the "Crown of the Continent Ecosystem," a region of protected land encompassing 16,000 square miles. Settle in for the evening and look forward to tomorrow’s day of exploration.
Going-to-the-Sun and Glacier National Park
This morning, depart your lodge on the east side of Glacier National Park and join Mariah Gladstone for your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience. Your Local Specialist, Mariah, shares stories of Blackfeet resilience, cultural revitalisation and ancestral foodways as you visit the Blackfeet Indian Memorial. Later, travel through the park aboard a privately chartered 1930s Red Jammer bus—named for the sound of double-clutching gears. With roll-back tops for panoramic views of towering peaks and Montana’s legendary Big Sky, and commentary from seasoned guides who know and love the park, this is an unforgettable way to explore. Climbing to 6,646 feet at Logan Pass, cross the Continental Divide with views of glacially carved valleys and wildflower-draped meadows. Disembark at the Swiss-style Lake McDonald Lodge, built in 1913, where you’ll stay tonight on the park’s largest lake.
