Western Canada

Victoria and the waters around it have some amazing water life and the killer waves will blow you away. The hotspots of the city of Vancouver are a treat to behold. The bears are so accessible and you become intimate with the grizzly bears of Western Canada. Whistler in the warmer months turns into a heaven where you can go dog sledding. The Fairmont Chateau at Whistler is fine. Jasper National Park has so many creatures so get the MOuntain Guide to learn about bear attacks. The lakes are glacier fed and the mountains tower above you. Go for a ride in a canoe when the water turns smooth and glassy. Pyramid lake is the place to get in touch with nature.

The walking tracks take you down into the depths of the canyons. The woodpeckers tap into the trees but they can kill the trees with their holes. The waterfalls are tremendous and are part of an underground river system and in winter the rivers turn to ice. The canyons are more than a million years old. Lake Louise will make your eyes pop out of your sockets. The glacier is so big that you have to drive half way up the ice. It even snows in summer on top of the glacier. It is constantly moving at the rate of a couple of centimeters a day. This glacier is thousands and thousands of years old. This is some of the cleanest water in the whole world.

Lake Louise takes you to another world situated in Banff National Park. The waters coming off the glaciers give the lake an aquamarine beauty that is magnificent to behold. Go bushwalking around the lake and see the six glaciers on your trek into nature. The waters on the east heads to the Atlantic Ocean. Right on the shores of Lake Louise there is spacious accommodation options with fine dining over a suave view of the lake. Banff National Park has rivers that bend and twist around the area. Moraine Lake is pretty incredible with high mountains just pushing up to the sky right in front of you. Emerald Lake is gorgeous as the sun hits the water. The Lakes Village is for people who want a bit of down time.

Banff was established in the nineteenth century and the views are spectacular. Head up the gondola to the top of the mountain which is a world heritage zone. The view from the top exceeds your wildest dreams. Banff is Canada's main ski areas. The Bow River is all about adventure. Go for a trip in a rubber raft to see the wild life. It is still a wild frontier and the indian people believed it was a sacred area. Tunnel Mountain looks like a sleeping buffalo. Horse riding through the Banff National Park is a special thing to do on your trip to Western Canada. The woods have obstacles like river crossings - you can ford the icy rivers and plod along at a lazy pace on a placid horse ride.
