Tour Itinerary
Leg 1 - Banff to Rampart Creek (via Lake Louise)
We spend most of the day exploring the area around the most photographed lake in the Rocky Mountains, Lake Louise, including a hike up the mountain beside the lake! We'll then head up the scenic Icefields Parkway to Rampart Creek and our rustic, wilderness hostel.
Leg 2 - Rampart Creek to Mount Edith Cavell
Today we enter Jasper National Park where we'll experience the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Glacier, as well as numerous lakes (go for a swim!), rivers, waterfalls and mountains. We'll spend another night in a rustic, wilderness hostel, enjoying a campfire in the shadow of the towering Mount Edith Cavell!
Leg 3 - Jasper Area
After a morning hike to the majestic Angel Glacier, we'll head out to Maligne Lake, where you'll have the opportunity to go canoeing, kayaking or on a boat cruise to Spirit Island (optional extra cost), or go for a hike. Then we'll head into the Jasper townsite where you'll have time to explore on your own before an included dinner.
Leg 4 - Jasper to Banff
It's yet another day of jaw dropping vistas, and scenic hikes as we make our way back to Banff and the end of the tour. Highlights include Parker Ridge, Peyto Lake and Moraine Lake (seasonal).
