What's this trip about?

    Get ready for the outdoor experience of a lifetime! In 6 nights, you're going to see Canada at its finest. First stop: Calgary! Kick things off with a walking tour to get to know the culture-filled city.  After a scheduled transfer from downtown Calgary, you'll arrive in Banff. While you're here, you'll get to set off on a gondola tour, a full-day adventure through the mountains, lakes, and waterfalls of the area, PLUS you'll get to explore the Icefields Parkway tour and strike out on an Ice Explorer and Glacier Walk. After a few nights in paradise, you'll return to Calgary for one final night. A taste of the hip city, pristine outdoors, tons of things to do...who could ask for more?
