The Rockies

Canada is a vast country, from the snow capped glaciers to the crystal lakes, high mountain ranges and unique wildlife. Driving through the Rocky Mountains is the best way to see the wonderful scenery. Banff, a ski-resort in the national park is the gateway to the Rockies. Ideal for winter activities, the picturesque town is brimming with bars and restaurants. The gondola is the ideal way to see the town and it's surroundings. Sit and enjoy a coffee whilst learning the history of the town. Here you can arrange day trips to experience quad-biking, off-road mountain biking, fishing, trekking and for the more adventurous: white water rafting and rock climbing.

Drive four hours North through scenic landscapes to discover Lake Louise on your way to Jasper, where you can hire kayaks. This is an ideal route to see the splendour of the glacier. Climb aboard a snow-monster truck for an experience you'll never forget. Why not try mountain trekking or moose-spotting?

Leave behind the tourist route, along highways to the ranch town of Clearwater - a unique Canadian outback town with friendly locals. Enjoy a stop-off here and unwind in a traditional log cabin whilst listening to the sounds of country music, enjoying the barbecued delights of buffalo. Here you can go fishing or horse-riding and hunt for the brown and grizzly bear. The Clearwater river is famous for it's grade four waves where you can sail through the Sabre-Tooth canyon down to the famous Kettle where many have tried to conquer its powerful current.

After Clearwater, make your way to the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver. A city brimming with shops, coffee houses, bars and clubs. Spend at least four nights here as there's plenty to do, before disembarking on your trip home.
