“I cannot tell how much I appreciated the effort Davis put into arranging our holiday. All in all it has been a perfect three weeks and we cant wait to start planning our next vacation. We just loved Canada and Alaska and hope to visit again quite soon. Once again I cant thank you enough for all the time and courtesy afforded to us, it has made our 30 plus years together a wonderful experience, full of lovely lasting memories.”

Detailed Itinerary

EASTBOUND ITINERARY
 Westbound is the same, except reversed. See below for details
 Day 1 Arrive in Vancouver
 One of the most beautiful cities in the world, Vancouver is surrounded by towering mountains and sparkling ocean. Depending on your time of arrival, you can relax and dine al fresco or get out and explore on foot or bicycle.

Day 2 On the Rocky Mountaineer – Vancouver to Kamloops
 This is the first day of your 2-day Canadian Rockies train journey. There is a gentle pull as the train leaves Vancouver and the smell of eggs, strawberries and buttermilk pancakes wafts from the galley. The coastal scenery is breathtaking; venture out onto the outdoor viewing platform and for unobstructed views and cool fresh air.

Day 3 On the Rocky Mountaineer – Kamloops to Jasper
 The exhilaration of your Canada train trip reaches a high when finally you see the distinctive jagged peaks of the Canadian Rockies. You learn about the history of the railroad and spot wildlife as you go. In the late afternoon arrive in Jasper - disembark your train and breathe in the cool, fresh mountain air - the feeling is indescribable.

Day 4 In the Canadian Wilderness – Discover Jasper
 Today you join a local tour and experience Canadian wilderness; start exploring the mountains, rivers and lakes all around you - including the Athabasca River, Maligne Canyon and Medicine Lake. Overnight in Jasper.
Day 5 The Icefields Parkway – Jasper to Lake Louise
 Rising from your warm bed is difficult this morning but well worth it. Today you journey along one of the most famous highways in the world - the Icefields Parkway. Stop to walk on the Athabasca Glacier and learn about the science of glaciers - in late afternoon your Canada train trip brings you to the beauty of Lake Louise for your overnight stay.

Day 6 The Southern Canadian Rockies – Lake Louise to Banff
 Take the time this morning to enjoy Lake Louise, this afternoon it’s off to Banff! A lively mountain town with great restaurants and a low-key cowboy atmosphere, Banff is a welcome change of pace. Enjoy strolling Banff Avenue or try one of the numerous outdoor adventures offered in this outdoor playground. Overnight in Banff.
Day 7 Exploring Banff – Evening Wildlife Safari
 Today is the day for a round of golf, a fly-fishing lesson, a relaxing spa treatment, or a ride on a horse into the mountains. (Ask your Canadian Rockies train expert for more details). In the evening we have included a wildlife tour - in search of black bears, elk, bighorn sheep and more. Overnight in Banff.

Day 8 Depart from Calgary
 Much too soon you leave the cool crisp air and colorful sights of the Rockies as your Canada train trip comes to an end.
