Start your adventure with a visit to Canmore, a picturesque town known for its scenic hiking trails, rock climbing routes, and stunning views of the Rocky Mountains. Take a challenging hike up to the Ha Ling Peak for panoramic views over the Bow Valley.
Explore the breathtaking wilderness of Glacier National Park, home to glaciers, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. Take a scenic drive along the Going-to-the-Sun Road or go on a hike to Hidden Lake Overlook for stunning views of the park.
Whistler is a mecca for adventure-seekers, with world-class skiing, mountain biking, and zip-lining opportunities. Take a gondola ride to the top of the mountain for panoramic views of the Coast Range or go bungee jumping over the glacial-fed Cheakamus River.
Wrap up your adventure in Vancouver, a vibrant city surrounded by mountains and ocean. Go kayaking in English Bay, hike in Stanley Park, or take a scenic drive up to Capilano Suspension Bridge for breathtaking views over the canyon.
Transportation will be primarily by car. Renting a car for the trip is the most convenient way to see all the destinations. Estimated costs for a rental car are $200-300 for four days including gas. When driving, be aware of wildlife on the road, weather changes, and narrow mountain roads.
If you have more time, consider spending an additional day in Banff National Park, located 30 minutes from Canmore. For a more relaxed trip, consider removing Glacier National Park from your itinerary. Take note of the weather in each location and pack appropriately.
