15-Nights Western Canada With Inside Passage & Calgary Stampede

Welcome to Calgary! More fun than a 10-gallon hat can hold, it’s no wonder the Calgary Stampede is "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth." This celebration of the Old West brings frontier days to life with entertainment and exhibits, great food, world-famous Chuckwagon horse races, and the Calgary Stampede Rodeo with a rip-roaring wild west experience. Say "happy trails" to Calgary and head out to the majestic Canadian Rockies-featuring awe-inspiring Banff National Park, the turquoise waters of Lake Louise, and a ride on an all-terrain Ice Explorer across ice measuring 750 feet thick! Journey through breathtaking wilderness to Jasper National Park with the opportunity to join an optional excursion to Maligne Lake and the much-photographed Spirit Island. En route to Prince George, see Mount Robson, the Canadian Rockies’ highest peak. Embark on a stunning all-daylight journey aboard VIA Rail’s Skeena train through the rugged Coast Mountains. Retrace the steps of the ancient First Nations trading routes following the paths of the earliest fur traders and arrive in Prince Rupert for a two-night stay. Your adventure continues on a fantastic voyage on the Inside Passage through some of the world’s most spectacular scenery and the chance to see whales, sea lions, porpoise, eagles, and other wildlife. Overnight in Port Hardy and make your way south to charming Victoria on Vancouver Island. Visit brilliant Butchart Gardens and have time to explore this very British city before setting sail across the picturesque Strait of Georgia and Gulf Islands to vibrant Vancouver. Stunning national parks, a scenic train ride, a magnificent Inside Passage cruise, and visits to charming towns and exciting cities make this an amazing, value-minded Canada vacation not to be missed!
