Tips

To extend your adventure, consider adding a few days in the Canadian Rockies to explore Jasper National Park or a coastal road trip along the Pacific Highway. If you need to shorten the trip, you can combine the Banff and Vancouver segments into a single “Western Canada” block and skip either Toronto or Quebec City, focusing on the regions that interest you most.
