Dear Duke Alumni and Friends,

Travel with us on an exciting small group journey to the majestic Canadian Rockies with a nature-focused itinerary that brings you face to face with some of North America’s truly stunning sights.

Begin your 11-day tour in Montana’s breathtaking Glacier National Park, where you board a legendary Red Jammer sightseeing bus. Continuing on to Whitefish, Montana, an authentic mountain town, take a leisurely hike along the scenic Whitefish Trail. Then you savor the striking scenery en route to world-famous Banff National Park. Highlights here include visits to photogenic Lake Louise and a traverse of Athabasca Glacier in a special vehicle. Jasper National Park follows, where you admire dramatic Maligne Canyon and cruise sky-blue Maligne Lake. A breathtaking expedition to the Glacier Skywalk affords you spectacular views. On your tour’s final full day, ride the Banff Gondola to Sulphur Mountain’s peak.

Space on this exclusive Duke departure is limited to 24 guests in total and will fill quickly. Your educational program will be led by a knowledgeable and attentive Odysseys Tour Director, in addition to your expert local guides. As the group grows in size, we will make every attempt to find a Duke host who will join the program to add a uniquely Duke perspective to the experience. Call today to reserve your place!

Forever Duke,

Beth Ray-Schroeder ’83 Director, Duke Alumni Travels Duke Alumni Association

Day 1: Depart the U.S. for Calgary, Canada We depart the United States today for our flight to Calgary. Upon arrival, we check in to our centrally located hotel then have time to explore this cosmo- politan Canadian city on our own. Tonight we gather for a briefing on the journey ahead followed by dinner at our hotel. D

Day 2: Calgary/Waterton Lakes National Park/Glacier National Park, U.S. We leave Calgary by coach this morning for the scenic drive to Glacier National Park in northern Montana. For lunch we stop at the famed Prince of Wales Hotel along the shores of Upper Waterton Lake, the deepest lake in the Canadian Rockies and where the prairie meets the mountains. After time to take in the splendid lake views here, we cross the 49th parallel and enter the United States. We arrive at our lodge late this after-noon and enjoy dinner there together tonight. B,L,D

Day 3: Glacier National Park Today we get our first look at Glacier National Park, a 1,583-square-mile swath of wilderness in Montana’s Rocky Mountains encompassing rugged mountains, thunderous water-falls, still lakes, and glacial valleys stretching to the Canadian border. We begin with a morning hike along St. Mary Lake, the park’s second largest and the clear divide between the Great Plains to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west. Movie buffs may recognize the lake from the iconic opening shot of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Then we embark on a cruise for panoramic views of the lake and its surroundings. This afternoon is at leisure amidst the majesty of America’s 10th national park before dinner together at our lodge. B,D

Day 4: Glacier National Park/Whitefish We enjoy a travel highlight today as we step back in time and board one of Glacier National Park’s legendary sight-seeing buses: the Red Jammers, in use here since the 1930s. With roll-back canvas convertible tops, these buses take their name from the sound of the early drivers jamming the manual transmission into low gear to negotiate steep roads. Our ride this morning takes us along the fabled Going-to-the-Sun Road, a

O ne of North America’s great unspoiled wildernesses, the Canadian Rockies offer bountiful rewards for outdoor-loving travelers. While staying in unique mountain

lodges, we ride in Glacier National Park’s famed Red Jammers, visit cerulean Lake Louise, and set foot on Athabasca Glacier. Amid stunning alpine scenery, it’s a feast for the eyes – and the spirit.

winding mountain pass that offers breathtaking views and hair-raising turns. After time for lunch on our own we meet up with our motorcoach and continue southwest across the Continental Divide. After arriving late this afternoon in the resort town of Whitefish, Montana, we dine together tonight. B,D

Day 5: Whitefish, MT We head into the forest this morning for a leisurely hike along the Whitefish Trail, starting at Swift Creek Trailhead. The mile-and-a-half loop offers opportunities for wildlife viewing. Our trek ends at a lookout over postcard-worthy Skyles Lake. Then we continue on to the popular ski area of Whitefish Mountain Resort, where we board chairlifts bound for the mountain’s summit. After taking time to enjoy the 360-degree views and crisp summit air, we visit the Summit Nature Center to learn more about the mountain and its local environ-ment. We return to our hotel in time for lunch on our own and an afternoon and evening at leisure. An authentic mountain town, Whitefish boasts an abundance of restaurants and activities. B

Day 6: Whitefish/Lake Louise – Banff National Park Today’s full day of travel presents some of the most striking scenery of our tour. We begin the day passing through forests, by lakes, and across high plains before crossing from the U.S. back into Canada – this time into British Columbia. After a stop for lunch and a drive along the western edge of the Canadian Rockies, we enter world-famous Banff National Park and ascend to Lake Louise, and our hotel, late this afternoon. Before dinner here, we take an easy hike for our first view of the photogenic lake, originally named Emerald Lake for its brilliant hue. B,L,D

Day 7: Lake Louise/Jasper This morning we visit the viewing area to see the lake in the early morning

A scene in Glacier National Park, which we explore on Days 3 & 4

light. Then we depart via the Columbia Icefields Park- way for the drive to the 125-square-mile Columbia Icefields in Banff National Park, a UNESCO site. Here we bundle up for a tour highlight as we board the Ice Explorer all-terrain vehicle for the ride to Athabasca Glacier, the most visited glacier in North America. Equipped to drive right onto the glacier itself, the massive Ice Explorer boasts super-sized tires specially designed for glacier travel. Upon reaching Athabasca, we disembark to explore, take photos, and fill our water bottles with the pure water from the glacier. Then we descend to the base station for lunch before we begin our drive northward again, arriving at our hotel centrally located in the town of Jasper, which is within Jasper National Park (also a UNESCO site). We enjoy dinner together at our hotel. B,L,D

Day 8: Jasper The scenery on display today is nothing short of breathtaking. First we view Maligne Canyon, a geological marvel where the limestone bed- rock has been eroded by an underground river to a depth of 160 feet. Only six feet wide at some points, the plunging canyon offers a dramatic (and heady) view from the top. We continue on to cerulean Maligne Lake, the largest glacially formed lake in the Canadian Rockies. Here we board our boat for a morning cruise, taking in the sky-scraping mountain peaks, dark green forests, and three glaciers all visible from the lake. We cruise by acclaimed Spirit Island, which makes for a wonderful – and uniquely Canadian – photo opportu-nity. Early this afternoon we return to Jasper, where we have the rest of the day at leisure. B

Day 9: Jasper/Banff We return today to the Columbia Icefields Parkway for more scenic views, and a thrilling expedition. This dramatic road parallels the Contin- ental Divide, running down the spine of both Jasper

and Banff national parks. Mid-day we enjoy an exhil- arating experience as we tiptoe across the Glacier Skywalk, a cliff-edge walkway that leads to a trans- parent-bottomed observation deck suspended nearly 1,000 feet above the valley floor. Here the vast glaciers, snowcapped mountain peaks, and thundering water- falls seem close enough to touch. We enjoy a picnic lunch amidst this jaw-dropping scenery then continue on to our hotel in lower Banff National Park. B,L,D

Day 10: Banff Our last full day in the Canadian Rockies begins with a ride aboard the Banff Gon-dola to the top of Sulphur Mountain, so named for the hot springs on its lower flank. This 8,000-foot peak overlooking the town of Banff affords stunning mountain views in every direction; indeed, we can

see six mountain ranges during this excursion. Then we travel Tunnel Mountain Road to visit two more natural wonders: the Hoodoos, a collection of eroded limestone spires strung along a wooded hillside; and Bow Falls, a wide waterfall just out-side Banff. The afternoon is free to explore Banff

before we celebrate our outdoor adventures with a farewell dinner at our hotel. B,D

Day 11: Banff/Depart for U.S We transfer this morning to the Calgary airport for our flights home. B
