Welcome to Vancouver, the largest city in the Province of British Columbia. After arriving at the International Airport our transfer service will take you to your hotel. In the evening we will get together for our traditional Welcome Drink and Dinner get to know each other.

After breakfast we start our photo tour adventure on the Grandview Highway heading east, followed by the Goldrush Trail on Canada's Highway 1 and passing several Indian Reservations. An overnight stay will be in the historical gold mining town of Cache Creek.

We will travel most of the day and ending it with a relaxing evening at the hotel pool and bar in Valemount.

Our day starts off with a breathtaking view of Mount Robson, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rocky Mountains (3.954 m). Our photo tour continues on to Jasper and to Maligne Lake for a spectacular boat tour in the Jasper National Park. An overnight stay will be in Jasper, the heart of the Canadian Rockies in the Province of Alberta.

There are several photo highlights on our route: The Banff National Park with its Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls and the Columbia Icefield followed by Lake Louise. We will be spending the night in Banff, the largest town in the National Park.

We will spend the morning in Banff, take a gondola ride and enjoy the amazing scenery of the Banff National Park. After lunch we will travel south east to Calgary for sightseeing.

A great day lies ahead of us: snow covered Rocky Mountains, wind parks, a stop in Pincher Creek and finally arriving in Cranbrook.

In the morning we will visit the heritage town Fort Steele, founded in the 1860's. Here you will feel set back in time and learn more about the early days of Canada during it's gold rush period. Our trip continues on to the Glacier National Park and over the Rogers Pass. Another highlight is a visit to the Railway Museum in Revelstoke, where we will stay for the night.

Today's route is considered to be one of the five best trips in North America: travelling from Revelstoke to Nelson. It is also part of the Selkirk Loop in the Selkirk Mountains and includes a 30 minute ferry crossing over the Kootenay Lake.

We will be travelling along the Kootenay River with its many dams. After the Bonanza Pass, we will stop in Osoyoos for lunch and visit Oliver, the Wine Capital of Canada.
