Overview
About this package
Eight days through the most photographed mountain range in North America — the impossibly blue waters of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, a ride on the glass-floored Columbia Icefield Skywalk, and the winding Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper, widely rated one of the most scenic drives on earth. Wildlife sightings — elk, bighorn sheep, and if you're lucky, bears — are practically guaranteed.
