Canadian Rockies and British Columbia - 15 days - £3350

The Canadian Rockies have been drawing visitors for over a century and it's easy to see why - this region is incredible. The valleys are lined with towering mountains and snuggled at the mountains bases are towns, lakes and roads. Standing at a viewpoint, you can gaze out on a glacial lake and be dazzled by its turquoise hue.

Canada’s most westerly province, British Columbia is sandwiched between the Rocky Mountains on the east and the mighty Pacific Ocean on the west, bordered to the south by the USA and to the north by the Northwest and Yukon territories. Its location on the Pacific Rim ensures that British Columbia has a rich blend of cultures, with large numbers of descendants of the English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh pioneers. Travelling onboard the Rocky Mountaineer is an unforgettable experience, considered by many to be, a trip of a lifetime. The two-day rail journey recaptures the romance of rail travel as it follows the historic train route constructed over 100 years ago through Canada’s West and Canadian Rockies, uniting the country. The entire train ride takes place during daylight hours to ensure you enjoy every minute of the breathtaking scenery of glacier-fed lakes, majestic mountain ranges and ferocious rivers.The provincial capital is the city of Victoria, situated on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, but its largest and most populated city is Vancouver, known as Canada’s ‘emerald jewel’ because of its green-blue vistas of mountains and sea. Yoho (Cree for “awe”) National Park will give you a feeling of awe as up at Takakkaw Falls or paddle in Emerald Lake. You can stay in the park or just outside the boundary, in Golden.
