Canadian Rocky Mountains Tours – The Ultimate Guide

The Rocky Mountains (or Rockies) in Western North America have been around for more than 55 million years. This majestic and imposing 3000-mile range extends from British Columbia in Canada to New Mexico in the United States. Formed by movements of the earth and sculpted by the action of glaciers, the Rockies stand today as a testament to the passage of time and the immense power of nature.

Humans have lived among the Rockies since the Ice Age. Today, this is one of the most visited destinations in the world. When you read reviews online, the Rockies regularly feature on peoples’ bucket lists. Tourists and locals alike are in awe of the unspoiled beauty of the majestic snow-capped peaks. Whether they’re visiting for one day or 20 days, the abundance of flora and fauna in the region and spectacular scenery never fail to mesmerize visitors.

Many people plan trips to the Rockies to revel in recreational and sporting activities such as camping, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, golfing, boating, and rafting, to name a few. Others travel to this special region simply to experience a connection with nature that only the pristine expanse of the Rockies can provide. What’s common is that everyone who comes to explore the Canadian Rockies leaves after the trip with a lifetime of unforgettable memories.  Canadian Rocky Mountain tour packages cater to every reason for visiting this sublimely beautiful part of the world.

A  Canadian Rocky Mountains tour from Vancouver gives you the chance of a lifetime – to walk out over the Rockies, suspended 918 feet in the air, on the glass-bottomed Glacier Skywalk at Jasper. Nothing can quite compare to the rush of adrenaline and you’ll come away with a newfound respect for the term “bird’s eye view.” Other attractions in Jasper National Park include the Athabasca Glacier icefields, river and falls as well as the Jasper Skytram (the highest and longest of its kind in Canada).

Lake Louise and the  Banff National Park are other popular stops that attract an estimated 4.5 million visitors every year. There are several castle-like resorts dotting the area along the railway line that offer unique backdrops for your photos.
