  • Days 1-2

    Calgary & Banff National Park

    Start your journey in Calgary before driving to Banff (1.5 hours away). "Banff National Park was breathtaking - get to the Sulphur Mountain gondola early to beat crowds and catch the morning light on the peaks." Relax in the Banff Hot Springs after your travels. Try to stay in Banff town center for convenient access to local spots and hiking trails.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Lake Louise & Yoho National Park

    Lake Louise makes an ideal base for hiking adventures. Start the Agnes Tea House trail by 8am to avoid crowds. Visit Yoho National Park to explore Emerald Lake and Takkakaw Falls. A fellow hiker notes: "The Plain of Six Glaciers trail was challenging but worth every step - pack lots of water and hiking poles for the steep sections."

    
  • Days 5-6

    Icefields Parkway & Jasper

    Plan for a 9-10 hour scenic drive to Jasper. Stop at Bow Lake and the Columbia Icefield along the way. Maligne Canyon offers beautiful morning photo opportunities. Looking for some adventure? Book an Athabasca River rafting trip in the afternoon when temperatures are warmer.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Wells Gray Provincial Park

    The 10-hour drive west to Wells Gray opens up new experiences. Try early morning canoeing on Clearwater Lake when the water is most peaceful. Visit Helmcken Falls, standing at 141m - that's three times higher than Niagara Falls. Pack extra warm clothes since temperatures can drop below freezing at night, even in summer.

    
  • Days 9-10

    Whistler

    After an 8-hour drive through BC's interior you'll reach Whistler. The area offers trails for every skill level. A recent visitor shares: "The Valley Trail network is perfect for easy walks, while the High Note Trail offers incredible alpine views - just check conditions first as snow can linger into July."

    
  • Days 11-12

    Tofino & Vancouver Island

    Take a 2-hour ferry ride to Vancouver Island followed by a 3-hour drive to Tofino. Schedule whale watching for your first morning when the sea is calmer. Good advice from a previous visitor: "Book Pacific Rim park passes online in advance - they often sell out in peak season. The sunrise surf lessons are worth the early wake-up."

    
  • Days 13-14

    Victoria & Vancouver

    The 6-hour drive to Victoria includes a worthwhile stop at the Old Country Market in Coombs. Spend your last morning in Victoria before taking the 2-hour ferry to Vancouver, your final destination. You might want extra time to discover Stanley Park and Gastown.

  • Day 1

    Calgary

    Land in Calgary and connect with your group. Book an early afternoon flight to skip rush hour traffic between the airport and downtown. Don't miss the evening orientation for gear check. If you need to rent camping equipment, this is your time to get it sorted.

    
  • Days 2-3

    Banff National Park

    Head to Banff through scenic ranch country. You'll love the campground's hot showers after your hikes. Take on the Lake Minnewanka trail that first afternoon, but pack windproof layers since the lake kicks up strong gusts. Day 3 gets more challenging with a 7.5km trail to a hidden alpine lake, climbing 725m. After hiking, relax in the sulphur hot springs. Visit after 7pm when the crowds thin out.

    
  • Days 4-5

    Lake Louise needs two full days to explore properly. Hit the 3.5km tea house trail before 9am to avoid the tour buses. Strong hikers can take on the full Plain of Six Glaciers circuit stretching 15km. Over in Yoho, walk the Emerald Lake loop for incredible views. Pack waterproof boots for muddy trails and be ready for unpredictable weather including summer snow at the pass.

    
  • Days 6-8

    Jasper National Park

    The Icefields Parkway takes longer than expected with all the scenic stops. Climb the steep 2.5km to Saskatchewan Glacier viewpoint - trekking poles will save your knees. The Maligne Lake alpine meadow circuit runs 8km and reaches 2160m. Stay alert for bears and make noise at blind corners. Pack extra sunscreen for the Columbia Icefields trails since they start above the treeline.

    
  • Days 9-12

    Canoe Adventure

    Now for the real wilderness. A previous traveler shared: "The river varies dramatically with weather - what's calm in morning can be challenging by afternoon. Pack everything in waterproof bags, even if they say they won't get wet." You'll paddle 160km on the Athabasca River over 4 days, about 5-6 hours daily. Set up camp on sandy islands but bring a ground sheet to keep the sand out. Pack lots of mosquito repellent.

    
  • Days 13-14

    Edmonton & Departure

    After your final paddle, it's a 2-hour drive to Edmonton. Your hotel sits near West Edmonton Mall for any last-minute shopping. Plan for 2 hours at the airport before your flight. Edmonton's airport is usually less busy than Calgary's.
