On our first day, we'll make four stops to see some amazing sights. We'll start off with a short walk in the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park, where you'll experience a west coast rainforest. Next, we'll visit the town of Hope, BC, known as the "Chainsaw Carving Capital of Canada," to pick up lunch supplies. After crossing through the Coastal Mountains, we'll reach the semi-arid grasslands of the Okanagan, where we'll go for a paddleboard adventure on Skaha Lake in Penticton. Finally, we'll arrive in Kelowna on Lake Okanagan, our destination for the night. Get ready for a delightful dinner at Kekuli Café in Westbank, where you'll have the chance to try Indigenous cuisine.
On the second day, we will visit three stops as we travel from Kelowna to Banff. Our first stop will be at a historic site where the last railroad spike on the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven in November 1885, connecting Canada from West to East. In Revelstoke, you will have the option to go kayaking on a lake surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, using beautiful handcrafted wooden kayaks. Continuing onwards, we will enter the Rocky Mountains and cross over the Kicking Horse Pass into Alberta and Banff National Park. Our day will conclude in the historic town of Banff, located in the heart of the mountains.
Our day will begin at the stunning Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, a seasonal stop that offers breathtaking views. We will then visit Lake Louise, one of the most famous and photographed lakes in the world. Next, we'll have a chance to see the Crowfoot Glacier and take an easy walk to the impressive Mistaya Canyon. For the night, we will stay in a rustic wilderness hostel alongside Rampart Creek. Here, you can take a dip in the creek, relax in the wood-burning sauna, and enjoy a campfire under the stars.
Today's main attraction is the Columbia Icefield, the largest icefield in the Rocky Mountains. Brace yourself for awe-inspiring views across the 325-square-kilometer expanse. Then, we'll head to Maligne Canyon, Jasper's deepest canyon, for a scenic hike with captivating bridge views into the canyon. Our day concludes in the town of Jasper, where you'll have the afternoon and evening to explore at your leisure.
Our first stop of the day will be at Athabasca Falls, one of the most powerful and picturesque waterfalls in the Rockies. We will then have the opportunity to spot mountain goats and admire the glaciers from the Goats and Glaciers viewpoint. Lastly, we will visit Waterfowl Lakes, where you can soak in the backdrop of Mount Chephren, named after an Egyptian Pharaoh.
On this day, you will have the freedom to spend your time as you wish in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Whether you choose to go hiking, explore the town, go rafting on the Kicking Horse River (at an additional cost), take the Sulphur Mountain gondola, or relax in the Upper Hot Springs, the choice is yours.
On Day 7, get ready to be blown away by the breathtaking Takakkaw Falls in Yoho National Park. These falls are some of the highest in all of Canada, reaching a towering height of 381m! Keep in mind, though, that this stop is only available during certain seasons. We'll also make a stop at the stunning Emerald Lake in Yoho NP for some incredible photo opportunities. Again, please note that this stop is seasonal too. Not far from Emerald Lake, we'll be checking out a natural wonder that stretches across the Kicking Horse River. Don't forget that this stop is also seasonal. And lastly, we'll make sure to capture some beautiful photos from the viewpoint overlooking the stunning Kalamalka Lake once we reach the picturesque Okanagan Valley.
We're in for another fantastic day as we journey from Kelowna to Vancouver. We'll be crossing the dazzling Okanagan Lake and conquering high mountain passes along the way. Our main highlight for the day is Tuckkwiowhum Village, an Indigenous heritage site where we'll have the privilege of enjoying a guided tour and engaging with a Traditional Knowledge Keeper. Prepare to be immersed in the rich cultural history of this place. Next, we'll explore the fascinating Othello Tunnels, named after the iconic character from Shakespeare's plays. These tunnels were once a part of the now inactive Kettle Valley Railway system. Finally, we'll wrap up our tour in Vancouver, leaving you with a memorable and fulfilling travel experience.
