Detailed Trip Description

There are few places on earth more spectacularly beautiful than the Canadian Rockies and there is no better way to see it all than on our Alpine Canada journey. Multiple-night stays at two of Canada's most sought-after inside-the-park resorts are a treat for the mind, the body, and the senses. A three-night stay at a most comfortable, yet blissfully remote, lodge high in the Cariboos and accessible only by helicopter is a celebration for the soul. Explore high mountain areas via a helicopter that transports you from one glorious spot to another, each one more astounding than the last. This is truly a life-enriching experience that you will never forget.
