  • Day 1

    New York City to Niagara Falls

    Be at Port Authority in NYC by 6:15 AM for a 6:30 AM departure. The bus won't wait for latecomers. Your drive north takes you through the Delaware Water Gap to the Finger Lakes region. Stop at Watkins Glen State Park for a canyon walk. Bring sturdy shoes since the paths get slippery. In winter, the tour visits Montour Falls instead. You'll reach Niagara Falls in late afternoon, just in time to see the illuminated falls at night. Book the Ramada Niagara Falls for the best evening views.

    
  • Day 2

    Niagara Falls Exploration

    Start your morning at the falls. From May through October, take the Maid of the Mist boat ride. You'll get a poncho, but your shoes will still get wet. Winter visitors explore the Cave of the Winds and Power Vista. The afternoon includes outlet shopping on your way to New Jersey. A helpful tip from a reviewer: "The hotel at Niagara is about 2 miles from the falls, so consider taking a taxi rather than walking back late at night."

    
  • Day 3

    Philadelphia and Amish Country

    Head to Philadelphia's historic district early. See the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall before the crowds arrive. Take photos on Elfreth's Alley, America's oldest continuously inhabited street. Go early before tour buses fill the narrow street. Your afternoon includes an authentic Amish buggy ride in Lancaster County. Skip the buggy ride if you have back problems. You'll arrive in the DC area by evening.

    
  • Day 4

    Washington DC Highlights

    Travel light today. You'll do lots of walking. Visit the Jefferson Memorial first if you're there during cherry blossom season in late March to early April. Spend your morning at Arlington National Cemetery. International visitors need their passports. One traveler points out: "The Washington portion feels rushed - consider adding an extra day if you want to properly explore the museums." The tour ends with an evening return to NYC, usually between 8-9 PM depending on traffic.

  • Day 1

    Seattle to Kamloops

    Leave Seattle early for the 7-hour drive north into British Columbia. Pack plenty of snacks and good music for the road. Stop at Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park for a quick 15-minute walk to see the 197-foot falls. You'll reach Kamloops by late afternoon. Keep watching for wildlife in the Thompson River Valley. You might spot elk or bears along the way.

    
  • Day 2

    Yoho National Park to Banff

    Start your Rockies adventure at Yoho National Park. Get to Emerald Lake before 10 AM to avoid tour buses. You can walk the full lake circuit in 90 minutes or take a shorter stroll along the northwestern shore for beautiful reflections. After crossing the Continental Divide at Kicking Horse Pass you'll arrive in Banff. The evening is perfect for exploring the restaurants along Banff Avenue.

    
  • Day 3

    Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

    Aim to reach Lake Louise by 7 AM to experience its peaceful waters before crowds arrive. Canoe rentals cost about $110 CAD per hour. Book ahead in summer. If you like hiking try the Lake Agnes Tea House trail for great views. One visitor shared: "The Plain-of-Six-Glaciers hike was challenging but worth every step." Visit Moraine Lake later in the day when the light makes the Valley of Ten Peaks look incredible.

    
  • Day 4

    Icefields Parkway to Jasper

    Today showcases some of the best scenery on the Icefields Parkway. Stop at Bow Lake and Peyto Lake. Plan about 3 hours for the Columbia Icefield if you want to do both the glacier walk and Skywalk. A helpful tip from another traveler: "Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes with grip for the glacier walk. It gets surprisingly cold on the ice even in summer."

    
  • Day 5

    Jasper National Park

    Spend your morning exploring Jasper. The Maligne Canyon trails and bridges need about 2 hours to explore properly. Rent bikes in town for a different perspective. The Jasper Park Lodge loop is fairly easy and offers beautiful mountain views. Later drive to Clearwater on the Yellowhead Highway. Look for Mount Robson on clear days. It's the highest peak in the Rockies.

    
  • Day 6

    Clearwater to Whistler

    A long drive through changing landscapes brings you to Whistler. Spend the afternoon in this former Olympic village. Take the Peak 2 Peak Gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Try to time your ride for sunset in summer.

    
  • Day 7

    Sea to Sky Highway to Vancouver/Seattle

    The Sea to Sky Highway offers stunning views. Stop at places like Porteau Cove for photos. In Vancouver walk or bike Stanley Park's seawall (2 hours walking 1 hour biking). Important advice from travelers: "If ending in Seattle prepare for a long final day. It's about 3 hours from Vancouver to Seattle plus border crossing time can be unpredictable."

  • Day 1

    New York City

    Land at JFK or LaGuardia for easier city access (Newark has longer transfer times). Book airport pickup before 8 PM to avoid night traffic delays. If you're dealing with jet lag, skip morning activities and opt for an evening tour instead. The lights of Times Square and Rockefeller Center are impressive at night. Book your hotel in Midtown Manhattan to stay close to the main attractions.

    
  • Day 2

    NYC Downtown & Financial District

    Start your day early at the Financial District around 8 AM when it's less crowded. Visit Wall Street and the Charging Bull statue first, then make your way to One World Trade Center. Book your Observatory tickets for late morning after the typical fog clears. In the afternoon, take the Liberty Cruise. A tip: sit on the right side of the boat for the best Statue of Liberty photos.

    
  • Day 3

    Philadelphia & Washington DC

    Leave NYC by 7 AM to stay ahead of traffic. Stop in Philadelphia and visit Independence Hall before 11 AM to avoid school groups. The drive to DC takes about 2.5 hours. Plan to see the monuments in the afternoon. The Vietnam Memorial is especially powerful as the sun sets.

    
  • Day 4

    Corning & Niagara Falls

    This is a long travel day with over 6 hours of driving through upstate New York. Visit the Corning Glass Museum in the mid-morning. From April to October, consider stopping at Watkins Glen State Park but bring good shoes for the 800-step gorge trail. When you reach Niagara Falls, watch the evening light show. Pack warm clothes since the mist makes it feel much cooler.

    
  • Day 5

    Niagara Falls & Boston Transit

    Take the Maid of the Mist tour right when it opens at 9 AM to beat the crowds. If you're doing Cave of the Winds, bring extra socks as you'll get wet. The afternoon drive to Boston takes 6-7 hours. Stay near Faneuil Hall where you'll find plenty of dining options.

    
  • Day 6

    Boston & Departure

    Visit Harvard before 10 AM when it's peaceful, then explore the Freedom Trail highlights. Skip driving in Boston and use the T (subway) instead. Schedule your departure flight after 3 PM to enjoy your morning activities.
