BOW VALLEY

When travelling from Calgary westwards into the Rockies, you will come upon a few mountain towns that can offer you not only a great place to hibernate. The order is as follows:

DEAD MAN'S FLATS

CANMORE

HARVIE HEIGHTS

BANFF

CASTLE MOUNTAIN

LAKE LOUISE


ICEFIELD PARKWAY - HIGHWAY 93

The Icefields Parkway, also called Highway 93, is one of the most scenic highways you will ever drive. Rent a car and make your way up to Jasper or book a great motorcoach tour with commentary that will reveal an exciting history! Imagine what it must have been like for those early mountain travellers.

Where will this highway take me??

Bow Lake - Saskatchewan Crossing (still Banff National Park) - Columbia Icefield (Jasper National Park) - Sunwapta Falls - along the Athabasca River




KANANASKIS COUNTRY

The K-Country is probably most loved for its rugged landscapes and beautiful vistas. This place is a real gem and has been loved by local Albertans for years. Located just an hour west of Calgary, the Kananaskis, is easily accessible and is popular for many reasons. Hiking, golf, camping and adventure sports are just some of the activites people go to this mountain paradise to enjoy. Looking for some winter fun? Pay a visit to Nakiska Ski Hill, the site of the 1988 Winter Olympic skiing competitions. Feeling not so rustic? There are deluxe accommodations and great restaurants for a weekend getaway!

WHAT ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?


Waterfalls? Visit Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls, or how about Mistaya Canyon, Johnston Canyon or Maligne Canyon! Witness the power of water and watch how water cuts, carving its way into age-old rock. The white churning water crashes and turns into the greenest flow. The spray - refreshing... and cold!!! Nature at its finest.


Athabasca Glacier

Glaciers? These mystifying ice flows really connect you back to a time when the earth was covered in ice. Come and experience the Icefields Parkway and go for an ice walk or take a ride on an Ice Explorer to learn more about these disappearing wonders.


Sparkling blue-green Lakes? Yes, they really do exist! The mountain parks are famous for their blue-green colour.Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Bow Lake and Maligne Lake (famous for Spirit Island) are just a few of the breath-taking jewels here in the Rockies that are easy to get to. Don't forget your camera!


Travelling by Road & Rail? One of the most beautiful ways to travel across this big country is by rail. Make a Vancouver circle trip that takes you from Vancouver through the Rockies to Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and back to Vancouver. There is nothing like the views from a train in the mountains!


Scenic Drives? Whether you are on the road with a rental car, a motorhome or your own vehicle, there are a number of scenic drives you can do yourself that will guide you to the most interesting spots in the mountains that you won't want to miss.


Learning a little more about Canada? Read up on this diverse country of many cultures in my Canada Quick Study. Need to know more about our currency? Take a look at my Canadian Money Quick Study and study up for your trip!






The Next Great Souvenir? You want to take something special home from the Rockies, but what? Get some tips on what you have to think about when buying souvenirs and find out what is typical here in the Rockies.






Activities? There are so many great outdoor activities that allow you to discover the mountains in a whole new way. Take a canoe out on Lake Louise or a Kayak on the Bow for an afternoon. Go horseback riding through the Sundance Canyon or go hiking at Johnston Canyon.
