CANADA: Canadian Rockies Sampler Save $200 per person on our August 7th departure this summer! (Limited to the first 4 people to sign-up.) On this exciting "quick escape," you'll explore the best of Jasper and Banff National Parks, two stars of the Canadian Rockies park system and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's one of the largest protected areas of the world. This is arguably the most spectacular part of the Canadian Rockies, boasting glacier-covered mountains, verdant forests that are home to black bear and elk, foaming rivers, and emerald and turquoise lakes whose colors defy the imagination - the perfect backdrop for this world-class multi-activity adventure. By day you'll take easy to moderate hikes up to rocky ridges and lush mountain meadows, don crampons for a glacier hike, and go horseback riding along lakes and riverside trails. You'll also spend an afternoon canoeing on Pyramid Lake (with a backdrop of fantastic mountain views), and enjoy an adrenaline rush while braving the rapids of the Kicking Horse River. "Base camps" are comfy cabins and creekside chalets - one in Jasper, the other near Lake Louise - where you'll enjoy great hospitality and all the comforts of home. TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
