Canadian Rockies - Ultimate Rocky Mountain
Ooh-aah views around every bend
With plenty of options to satisfy hikers of all ambitions, the vast wilderness of Banff, Paradise Valley and Lake Louise sets the perfect stage for your 6-day hiking vacation in the Canadian Rockies.
Kick off your adventure with a trek to Stanley Glacier through Kootenay National Park's sub-alpine forest and wildflower meadows, alive with marmots, pika and white tailed ptarmigans. Hike the Plain of Six Glaciers for a spectacular view of Lake Louise and climb the switchbacks from Moraine Lake to Larch Valley and Sentinel Pass, marveling at the expanse of Paradise Valley below. In Yoho National Park, summit Yoho Pass for breathtaking panoramas of the President Range, dip your feet in the pristine waters of Yoho Lake and let the mist of Takakkaw Falls, Canada's second tallest waterfall, cool your cheeks on your descent.
By night, reward yourself with a delectable meal and a soak in an outdoor hot tub before retiring to the comfort of your mountain inn or lodge.
