CANADIAN PARKS WALK

ITINERARY

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as local and operational conditions may vary and unforeseen circumstances can arise, the following itinerary should be used as a guideline.

• Day: 1 Seattle & Paul Lake Provincial Park

On the first day, the trail at Paul Lake Provincial Park offers a lovely setting for a chance to get acquainted, while loosening those legs for the rich variety of trails that lie ahead.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

• Day: 2-4 Jasper National Park

Fill the next three days with some of the walks and hikes, like Maligne Canyon, Mount Baldy, Opal Mountain and Five Lakes, that define the utter serenity of Jasper National Park. Conditions permitting, hike the trails at the base of Mt. Edith Cavell, all the while listening for the thunderous echoes of huge, blue chunks of ice falling from hanging glaciers or take a non-walking day to mountain bike, canoe or just ride the gondola to the top of Whistler Mountain.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

• Day: 5-7 Banff National Park

Leaving Jasper for Banff National Park, witness one of the world's most beautiful drives, the Icefields Parkway, and experience some of its jewels close up: walk along the brink of Sunwapta or Athabasca Falls, explore Athabasca Glacier on our included, guided tour, and stand in awe high above the powder-blue surrealism of Peyto Lake.

We have three days to explore the incredible diversity of this splendid national park. Consider hiking to one of the famous teahouses near Plain of Six Glaciers or Lake Agnes. Both offer spectacular views of the surrounding mountain scenery, while the extra effort required to reach Plain of Six Glaciers will be soon forgotten when you are photographing the nearby glacier. Hike through Sentinel Pass to the startling views of Lake Moraine or take the easier route and just stroll the shoreline. Revive those muscles with a soak in Banff's naturally heated hot pools, rent a canoe, get back on the trail, check out the wildlife or just enjoy the spectacles of this wondrous park.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

• Day: 8-9 Yoho National Park

Heading into Yoho National Park, consider whitewater rafting on the most aptly named Kicking Horse River. Yoho offers what is truly one of the world's great one-day walks, the Iceline Trail (conditions permitting) or take the shorter route via Twin Falls or over the pass, to Emerald Lake. For an easier but still glorious day, walk to the base of Takkakaw Falls and relax under a pine tree as the highest waterfall in Canada free falls 1000 feet. No matter what the option chosen, all will agree that Yoho National Park is wild, wonderful, Canada at its best!
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

• Day: 10-12 British Columbia Provincial Park, Vancouver & Seattle

Leaving Yoho and heading back towards civilisation but not there just yet, at one more British Columbia Provincial Park we have one last beautiful trail waiting, before arriving the next day at Canada's west coast and one of North America's most vibrant and liveable cities, Vancouver. Take in the magnificent skyline from the footpaths of Stanley Park, and stroll along English Bay Beach at sunset. Top off the evening with dinner in Chinatown and some nightlife in Gastown, before returning to the Emerald City, Seattle.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included

Tours ends at approx 17:00 hours in Seattle on day 12.
