WESTERN CANADA
Picture-perfect, pristine locales are settings for fun and adventure in the wilderness playgrounds of Western Canada. From alpine lakes and glaciers in the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Ocean, there are myriad sites to see and explore. Travel through stunning national parks and ascend gondolas for picturesque views; spot wildlife such as bears and buffalo; walk on icefields and glaciers; cruise turquoise lakes and ferry across to Vancouver Island; and become immersed in the culture of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and beyond.
Calgary is a great place to begin your journey through Western Canada. Located just 50 miles from the Canadian Rockies at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers, it is most famous for the annual Calgary Stampede. Spend time in Jasper National Park, Canada’s largest national park, where the night sky is well known for stargazing. It is home to a variety of wildlife, natural hot springs, lakes and alpine meadows. Banff National Park is the oldest in Canada and is known for its spectacular scenery, beautiful lakes, including Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Vancouver with its Stanley Park, Chinatown, and Capilano Suspension Bridge is a must-see city on the Pacific coast of British Columbia. From here, take the ferry to the lovely city of Victoria on Vancouver Island. Take time to wander through Butchart Gardens, see the city’s decorated totem poles, and perhaps take a hike in Pacific Rim National Park.
