DAY 2 Banff
Take the short (2-hour) drive from Calgary to Banff on either the Trans-Canada Highway or the more scenic 1A Highway.
DAY 3 Banff
A full day to explore Banff and area. In town you'll find lots of excitement - shopping, cafes, nightlife, and museums. Check out the Cave and Basin National Historic Site, birth-place of Banff and the Canadian national parks. Banff Gondola will lift you high over Banff for an incredible panoramic view. Take a dip in the hot mineral pools at the newly-renovated Upper Hot Springs.
DAY 4 Lake Louise
It's just a 40-minute journey from Banff to Lake Louise, so you'll have plenty of time to stop and explore along the way. Take the Bow Valley Parkway, a winding scenic route that follows the path of the Bow River. Be sure to stop at Johnston Canyon and walk along the paved footway to the upper & lower waterfalls before continuing to Lake Louise. You'll also have plenty of time to explore this lovely lake amid its mountain paradise - you can even rent a canoe!
DAY 5 Jasper
Another great day in the Rockies - travel from Lake Louise to Jasper along the amazing Icefields Parkway. You're sure to be enthralled by the scenery, the wildlife, the incredible blue lakes and sparkling waterfalls en route. Stop for a self-guided interpretive walk at Peyto Lake. Don't miss the Columbia Icefield Visitor Centre and a ride onto the Athabasca Glacier onboard an Ice Explorer before continuing your journey. You'll have time to discover the many shops and cafes in quiet and friendly Jasper.
DAY 6 Lac Le Jeune
Today you'll travel from Jasper to Kamloops along the Yellowhead Highway route, passing Mt. Robson - the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Your route takes you from towering mountains to the rolling grasslands of ranch country. This evening, dinner is included at your hotel.
DAY 7 Vancouver
An amazing trip awaits you today as you journey from Kamloops to Vancouver via the Fraser Canyon. You'll go from the arid near-desert of the interior through the steep, snowcapped Coast Mountains, then on to the rich farmland of the Fraser Valley. Don't miss the Hell's Gate Airtram, a bird's eye view of the roaring Fraser River as it squeezes through a narrow rock passage. On your way to Vancouver, don't forget to stop at Minter Gardens! You'll arrive in sophisticated, cosmopolitan Vancouver in time to sample the nightlife and many excellent restaurants.
DAY 8 Vancouver
