Have you always wanted to tour the Canadian Rocky Mountains, visiting the most beautiful scenery on earth and witnessing exotic wildlife in it’s natural habitat? Western Canada is home to numerous national parks and protected spaces that provide you with exactly this experience, allowing adventure travelers to witness bears, cougars and elk in the wild, as well as seeing crystal clear lakes, icebergs and mountains, wide open skies and thousands of acres of forests. Some of the best hiking on earth is available in this region of the world, and this has long been a destination of choice for the experienced outdoorsperson. One of the biggest challenges with regards to touring the Canadian Rocky Mountains is the planning and travel portion, due to the fact that most people are unfamiliar with the area. This is why we suggest an escorted tour of the Canadian Rockies instead of attempting to undertake it yourself. Our package is a seven day all inclusive one that will provide your transportation and meals, take care of all the arrangements and provide you with an escort guide that is familiar with the region. Our tour guides are not only knowledgeable, but are hand picked for these tours due to their intimate knowledge of the regions we explore. Lets face it, when you are undertaking an adventure tour of this level, it pays to have an experienced guide to show you the way.
For our American guests who are considering this tour, the escorted aspect of the trip literally pays for itself in convenience. Many people living in the states who enjoy the exploration of national parks may fail to remember that Canada is a foreign country, and they are not going to simply allow you to drive your car over the border and happily explore their national parks. You are going to have to go through an entire process of planning the trip that will be scrutinized by the government officials before you are allowed to cross. There have been more than a few stories of being detained at the border due to paperwork not being filled out satisfactorily, or for a host of other reasons. When you only have a week or less to explore the area, all of the time that is spent waiting for entry into the country is lost. In addition, arranging appropriate transportation in Canada is an issue. Will your personal insurance cover any issues that may happen while in a foreign country? Will you have any other issues with regards to your own vehicle if there was a problem? Once again, an escorted tour removes these worries from your mind so that you can simply enjoy the trip.
