Rockie Mountain Road trip

We have just returned to Australia from our wonderful adventure in the Canadian Rockies. Our agent Josee enthusiastically helped us plan our itinerary which started in Calgary and finished in Vancouver. Our accommodation was exceptional. We started our journey with a detour to the Royal Tyrrell museum through the Prairie's of the Canadian Badlands to visit the dinosaurs. Our first night was back in the Rockies at Banff where we shopped, hiked and breathed in Nature. A visit to Lake Louise is a must to admire the amazing blue water and surrounding snow capped peaks. We saw 6 black bear including a mother and her 2 cubs, and a Grizzly on our trip to Jasper where we also made time to drive onto the Glacier on a rumbling Ice Explorer. We took a trip on a boat to Spirit Island where we felt that we were a million miles away from anywhere. We stopped to look at a Bald Eagle sitting on her nest on the return trip to Jasper. We spent a night in Clearwater in a log cabin on the lake in the company of bear and amazing Ruby throated hummingbirds which entertained us during our meals. It was somewhat refreshing to have no mobile phone and limited Wifi access at this point in our journey. We spent a night in Whistler where the Peak to Peak gondola ride reminded us of how small we are. We enjoyed 2 hours of snow falling at the top. We finished our journey with a short drive to Vancouver where sadly our week long road trip came to an end. We had a wonderful time on a perfect holiday where we were constantly reminded of the healing properties of spending time immersed in Nature, and how important it is that we look after this planet for future generations. Thank you so much Josee and Authentik Canada! We hope to return again one day!
