With the help of your Trek Leader and fellow trekkers you may modify certain nightstops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

  • Days: 1-3 Seattle, Vancouver & British Columbia

From Seattle, we cross the border to Canada's most beautiful city, Vancouver. Sample the delights of Gastown or ride a bicycle through Stanley Park. We head 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 week in the magnificent Canadian National Parks.
Accommodation: Camping included



  • Days: 4-6 Jasper National Park & Lake Louise

We head to Jasper National Park where you have a chance to mountain bike through some of the most spectacular scenery that the Canadian Rockies offers. Another visually stunning day awaits on the journey over the Icefields Parkway and through the heart of the Rockies - truly one of the world's ultimate drives. Photographers will marvel at the turquoise hue of alpine lakes, countless peaks, forests and abundant wildlife. This superb route commands panoramic views of glaciers, forests and a chance to view wildlife before arriving at Lake Louise, the "gem of the Rockies". Visit the chateau or hike up to the tea house for incredible vistas.

  • Days: 7-9 Yoho & Banff National Parks

Next is Yoho National Park where you can try an exhilarating white water rafting trip on the Kicking Horse River or enjoy the many breath taking hiking trails that has made Yoho famous.

Accommodation: Camping included



  • Days: 10-16 Canadian Prairies, Winnipeg & Great Lakes

The anticipation builds as we reach Calgary before heading into the Canadian Prairies. Visiting towns such as Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat, and Swift Current and mixing with locals in bars or just down at the 'general store', you'll know you've gotten off the tourist track now.
We travel up 'Moose Alley' and canoe on the unspoilt Great Lakes wilderness lands of Ontario before crossing Lake Huron on the Georgian Bay Ferry.

Accommodation: Camping included



  • Days: 19-21 Ottawa & Montreal

Next, Canada's capital, Ottawa. No visit to any city is complete without sampling the local foods.and drinks! So we've left plenty of time for that. A true cultural mix is next on the agenda when visiting Montreal - the second largest city in Canada. Feel the charm of this 'European style' city with its narrow lanes and small cafes as well as being a major finance, business and art centre. Alternatively a thrilling jet boat ride on the Lachine Rapids will entertain adventure seekers.
