Mountie adventure tour

Product Details

About this adventure tour...

Soaring mountain peaks, alpine lakes, rugged glaciers, waterfalls and immense forests abound in one of the World's largest mountain parklands.

Explore the pristine wilderness of British Columbia and Alberta... Camp in the high Rockies, soak in hot springs, hike across an ice glacier, and canoe on a crystal clear mountain lake. The Mountie will take you into the heart of Canada's wilderness - the perfect outdoor adventure!

From Seattle, we cross the Canadian border into 'Beautiful British Columbia', which truly lives up to its name. We set up camp along a pristine lake, where discussion flows of the upcoming weeks in the magnificent Canadian National Parks. View the alpine meadows of Mount Revelstoke National Park en route to Yoho National Park.

For the adventurous, consider white-water rafting on the Kicking Horse River or enjoy the many breathtaking hiking trails that has made Yoho famous. Next we head to the picturesque town of Banff, where everyone has a chance to go hiking or biking on its winding trails, ride the aerial tramway or to soak in Sulphur Mountain's soothing hot springs.

Leaving Banff National Park, we travel to beautiful Lake Louise and its famous chateau. A leisurely drive on the Icefields Parkway to Jasper National Park - where you have a chance to mountain bike through some of the most spectacular scenery that the Canadian Rockies offers.

Our secluded campsite on the shores of Clearwater Lake is the perfect place to explore this pristine wilderness on an included overnight outback canoe trip. Bask in its quiet stillness before returning to the bustle of the cities. After visiting Vancouver - Gastown, and a Stanley Park bike ride - we head south and complete our adventure in Seattle.
