In Canada’s Rocky Mountains hike the classic trails of Banff and Yoho National Parks. Flower-filled meadows, alpine lakes, and views of high, sculpted, glacier-clad peaks await you in this alpine wonderland! Comfortable hotels in the national parks provide convenient accommodations that maximize your time on the trail.

Lake Agnes, the Plain of Six Glaciers, the Beehive Peaks and the Highline Trail are among the possible options. On a second day hike in the Valley of the Ten Peaks to Eiffel Lake with more challenging extensions to Wenkchemna or Sentinel Passes.

Days 3-5: Travel up the Icefields Parkway and stop for a spectacular hike to Helen Lake and Dolomite Pass. From your base at Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park set off on hikes up the Yoho Valley to enjoy a treasury of waterfalls including Laughing Falls, Twin Falls, and the thundering Takakkaw Falls. Another day's hike will take you along the Iceline Trail, a Canadian Rockies "classic" offering quintessential high country landscapes and never-ending views!
