CANADIAN ROCKIES LAND ADVENTURESEPTEMBER 10-17, 2022

Shimmering glaciers and vibrant turquoise lakes, alpine meadows and dense forest—the vast landscape of the Canadian Rockies is a treasury of scenic splendor and wildlife. Just as the fall approaches, we see the color of the leaves begin to change to a golden yellow. We have specially designed this itinerary to include some of the most beautiful hotel properties in the Rockies! We have also increased the length of our stay at each since they have so much to offer. Each day was carefully planned so that you can experience some of the most scenic and stunning places on earth—and certainly the best of the Canadian Rockies.

This itinerary was specially created to include some not-to-be-missed group tours as well as your own free time to enjoy optional activities and be as active as you would like. Nearly every level of easy, moderate, and difficult activity are offered at our hotel properties. Perhaps you just want to be in the stillness of nature, breathe in that fresh mountain air, and stroll the paths at your leisure. If you are feeling more adventurous, you might choose a more challenging hike to a peak to take in the vistas. Our local Tour Manager can assist you with your plans upon arrival.
