Days 6 – 7: Revelstoke
Distance: 252km / 158 miles
Revelstoke is a mountain paradise high in the Kootenay Rockies and boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in all of British Columbia. Enjoy the breath-taking views of rugged mountains, glistening glaciers, lush forests, tumbling waterfalls and crystal-clear lakes.
Days 8 – 9: Clearwater
Distance: 275 km / 172 miles
Wells Gray Provincial Park is a true wilderness where you can immerse yourself in natural surroundings, with pounding waterfalls, guided walks, hiking trails, white water rafting and kayaking.
The wildlife is exceptional: black bears, grizzlies, moose, mountain goats, caribou, wolves and cougars. Don’t miss Dawson, Spahats Creek Falls, and especially Helmcken Falls which is three times higher than Niagara Falls, plunging 140 metres down into a mist-filled abyss.
Days 10 - 12: Jasper
Distance: 318 km / 199 miles
Jasper is a friendly town set in the natural splendour of Jasper National Park and not as touristy as Banff. Much of the reason for this comes from the fact that nearly 25% of Jasper’s population has no dependency on tourism and instead they work for the railways.
There is no shortage of beautiful sites in Jasper National Park - a World Heritage Site. Jasper is known for its vast sub-alpine forests, comprehensive trail network (the largest of any Canadian national park), blue mountain lakes and frequent wildlife sightings. Jasper is a nature lovers dream with Elk hanging out on Jaspers Main Street, mountain goats and Bingham sheep licking salt of the highways and marmots playing peek-a-boo in the meadows. Mule deer are very common in Jasper and can often be seen around Pyramid Lake Road.
