About the trip

This G Adventures escorted tour unspools over thirteen nights, beginning in Calgary and threading through some of Canada's most celebrated national parks. Expect the straightforward charm of Banff, where mountains arc over turquoise lakes, before heading to Jasper, known for wildlife sightings and glacier hikes across Athabasca Icefield.

Camping dominates the nights, with dome tents set up in both private and public campgrounds, and one night in a hotel. You'll help pitch tents and prepare meals, a reminder this journey isn't a hotel holiday but an active engagement with the landscape. Occasional stops in towns like Whistler and Vancouver Island offer a change of pace — a latte in Vancouver or a visit to Butchart Gardens in Victoria are moments of civilized contrast.

Though the tour leans on the rugged side, it keeps a steady rhythm, balancing drives through mountain passes with easy hikes and canoeing. The group size is capped at twelve, allowing for a shared but personal experience — just the right number for swapping stories around the campfire without being overrun.
