Ultimate BC & Alberta

Twenty-one nights in Western Canada, starting and finishing in Vancouver. The American Road Trip Company describes it as a leisurely three-week trip with mostly two-night stops, taking in British Columbia and Alberta’s glacial lakes, mountains and wild Pacific beaches.

From Vancouver the route heads inland to Okanagan Lake, the province’s main wine region, for two nights. It then runs through Revelstoke and Glacier National Park to Yoho National Park, and on to Banff National Park and Lake Louise for three nights. The Icefields Parkway links Banff with Jasper National Park, where there are two nights.

The return leg goes back into British Columbia via Sun Peaks and Whistler, both listed for summer hiking, then across to Vancouver Island. Tofino and Pacific Rim National Park Reserve take three nights, followed by Victoria, with whale watching in the San Juan Islands offered as an activity. A ferry returns to Vancouver for the final two nights. The operator counts as many as six national parks on the route.

The price shown is a from figure for 21 nights, per person, based on two people sharing, off-peak travel, a standard car, economy flights and two to three star hotels. It covers flights with a premier carrier, accommodation, car rental and a detailed Road Trip Pack with route suggestions and points of interest for each drive. Every trip is built to order, so dates, hotel standard, flight class, car type and the number of nights can all be adjusted.
