Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
See the Athabasca Glacier up close and personal during a walk on an arm of the Columbia Icefield, an experience that will feel other-worldly.
Cruise on the magical Maligne Lake, soaking up the mountain views as you navigate to the iconic – and culturally significant – Spirit Island.
Soak up traditional knowledge about Banff’s flora and fauna on an Indigenous Medicine Walk around the national park.
Find yourself in a fairytale at Moraine Lake, with its deep blue surface surrounded by towering mountain peaks.
Finish your adventure at the top of Sulphur Mountain, having a restaurant dinner with an unbeatable and unforgettable view of the Rockies.
Is this trip right for you?
As we're travelling through the mountains, the weather can be unpredictable. We advise wearing layers at all times of the year in case conditions change during the day. At night the temperature can really drop, so make sure you have warm clothing with you.
In summer, especially in July and August, be prepared for insects. This is mosquito and black fly season so it's important to bring insect repellent, which will help prevent you from being bitten.
In 2024, Jasper experienced a significant wildfire, but much of its beauty remains untouched. As we return in 2025, you’ll witness firsthand how nature is beginning its recovery after this important and natural process that is vital to the region's ecology. This is also a crucial time to support local businesses as they rebuild from the fire’s impact. Join us in experiencing Jasper’s resilience and natural beauty while helping the community recover.
Itinerary
Adventure through the magnificence of the Canadian Rockies
Though they formed some 75 million years ago, there’s no time like the present to pay the Canadian Rockies a visit. Over the course of this seven-day adventure, you’ll travel up and down the Icefields Parkway and see all the natural highlights the Rockies have to offer: impossibly blue lakes, rushing glacial waterfalls and maybe even a classically Canadian critter or two. Breathe in views of Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Peyto Lake, cruise along Maligne Lake for a view of enchanting Spirit Island, walk along Athabasca Glacier, and get a birds-eye view of Banff from the top of Sulphur Mountain. If those peaks weren’t enough, there’s also the chance to pique your curiosity during a guided Indigenous Medicine walk of Banff National Park. Why wait to see it any longer?

What an amazing trip! Guide was awesome and knowledgeable about all aspects of the Rockies. We loved that our adult children did the Camping trip at the same time as ours. Worked out perfectly.

The Rockies is a special place to explore and my tour guide Dusty provided every opportunity to poke deep into areas off the beaten track. Packing in layers is highly recommended. In July the weather was very hot and all that was needed was shorts and tee shirt and a jacket on the Glacier. Don't pack too much there were laundries at the hotel to stay fresh. Leave space in your bag for Canadian made souvenirs. I bought tee shirts as a reminder of my tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Marie Eve. She followed the itinerary and offered suggestions to side adventures that our group truly appreciated. Her daily communication was exemplary and her care toward each of her travelers went beyond our expectations. This was a wonderful trip!

What a fantastic 6 day Rockies tour we did with Intrepid in May 24! This comfort level tour was a perfect balance between short road travel and sightseeing/ hiking/ free time. All accommodation was excellent. With just 8 people and a great tour leader/ guide it was the best way to see the beauty of the Rockies without spending hours traveling. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic way to see the remarkable Canadian Rockies. All the must-see highlights are included, as well as a number of lesser known, but equally remarkable, features of this magical place.
