CANADIAN ROCKIES July 10 - 19, 2020 10 Days/9 Nights Friday-Sunday Comparing mountains is a subjective and imprecise business. Yet few would deny that the Canadian Rockies are one of the most extravagantly beautiful ranges on Earth. The mountains and vast stretches of wilderness that make up the Canadian Rockies offer stunning scenery of glaciers, lakes, valleys, and snowcapped mountain peaks. Join your friends from Judy’s Leisure Tours on a wonderful holiday where we will visit the majestic Canadian Rockies 1 We will pickup along I94 on our journey to the fabulous Canadian Rockies, where we will experience mountain air, rushing waterfalls, stunning glaciers, and wildlife, too. We spend our first overnight at the Comfort Inn in Moose Jaw, SK. 2 This morning following a continental breakfast we continue our journey to one of North America’s most rugged, and beautiful cities, Calgary, for a two night stay. We find this picturesque metropolis in the rolling foothills of Alberta against the majestic Canadian Rockies to the west and the great plains to the east. This evening, we have reservations for the Chuckwagon Races and Grandstand Stage Spectacular. Chuckwagon races, a sport straight from the pages of western history, comes alive before your eyes. Variety acts from around the world join the young Canadians in a glittering Grandstand Show. An astonishing display of fireworks and a brilliant syncrolight sky beam aerial ballet provide a fitting climax to this thrilling western party. Athabasca Glacier 3 We will enjoy a continental breakfast to start our day before getting ready for “The Greatest Show on Earth” the Calgary Stampede, one of the world’s most thrilling spectator events, where we again have reserved seats. The Calgary Stampede rodeo offers you an afternoon of pageantry, along with entertainment, spills and thrills. 4 Following breakfast we experience some of the most spectacular scenery Banff and Jasper National Parks have to offer. We stop at Peyto Lake as we cross Bow Summit while traveling on the Icefields parkway to the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park. It is one of the largest accumulations of ice south of the Arctic Circle and one of the most accessible icefields in north America. We board a “Snowcoach” for a tour of Athabasca Glacier. The scenery is unsurpassed today as we pass waterfalls, icefalls, soaring peaks, and transparent lakes. Moose, bighorn sheep, elk, and eagles are among the wildlife you might see. We will have plenty of time to watch the wildlife and take pictures of the scenery. Unforgettable impressions are created by the collage of immense forests, jeweled lakes, rugged glaciers, colorful alpine meadows and a wide variety of wild animals in their natural habitat. Nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery in the heart of Banff National Park is our lodging. 5 This morning after breakfast pristine beauty awaits us at Lake Louise in Banff National Park. The shadows of vast, snow capped peaks cast themselves brilliantly over a glacial blue deep in the interior of Jasper National Park. Lake Louise is a hamlet in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, known for its turquoise, glacier-fed lake ringed by high peaks and overlooked by a stately chateau. We will take a boat cruise which will provide exceptional views and insight into area geology and wildlife. This legendary destination, is the site of the Canadian Rockies most famous photograph. Be sure to watch for wildlife, mountain goats, bear, elk, deer, etc as this is the day most likely to spot them. After our spectacular boat cruise we will then travel through the park into Banff, to our lodging for the next two nights. You will have time this evening to explore the town and have dinner on your own, watch for the Elk wondering through town. 6 This morning after breakfast we meet a local guide for a tour of Banff and a portion of Banff National Park. Among the highlights are visits to the hoodoos - shaped by centuries of wind, Surprise Corner, Tunnel Mountain Drive and Banff Springs Hotel. We will visit beautiful Chateau Lake Louise, one of the most photographed hotels in the world. We can meander the shore of Lake Louise the “Jewel of the Rockies”. We’ll then visit nearby Moraine Lake, one of the most photographed lakes in the world, with its deep emerald color reflecting a spectacular sight; the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Continuing our tour, stops will include Kicking Horse Pass, Yoho Valley, Natural Bridge and Spiral Tunnels Viewpoint. Returning to Banff you will have time this evening for a stroll around town. Perhaps you would like to take the Sulphur Mountain Gondola ride. 7 Following breakfast we cross the Continental Divide and travel through Kootenay National Park. We cross over Vermillion Pass on our way to Radium Hot Springs. We again experience the beauty of the countryside as it unfolds on our journey through British Columbia as we make our way to Glacier National Park. Our overnight destination is in Whitefish, Montana. 8 Breakfast begins our day then we are headed to Glacier National Park, located in Montana’s northern Rockies, which is probably one of the oldest scenic wonders of the United States, and is often referred to as the “Switzerland of North America.” Glacier National Park gets its name from the huge ice- age glaciers, which carved its rugged scenery. We travel to the Lake McDonald Lodge where we trade our motorcoach for a “Jammerwhich will take us for a panoramic view of the Park’s majestic scenery and wildlife. Words can not adequately describe this very scenic trip over the Going-to-the-Sun Road. From the mountains to the tunnels, to the lakes and the streams, there is a never-ending vista of scenery to remember. The park abounds in animal life, flora, glaciers, mountains, and unusual waterfalls, such as, Haystack Falls, The Weeping Wall, and Reynolds Creek Falls. As we again cross the Continental Divide and Logan Pass, we descend to the east side of the park and the Rising Sun Lodge. We enjoy the scenery and experience the peace which inspired the park to be established in 1910 as we continue to Lewiston, Montana. 9 We travel east across the wide expanse of Montana to Medora, North Dakota. We enjoy a delicious Pitchfork fondue this evening followed by the popular Medora Musical. This professionally produced musical extravaganza, performed in the outdoor splendor of the Badlands, is sure to make your toes tap. 10 We begin our journey home, with a stop at the Painted Canyon, to appreciate one of our own awe- inspiring wonders, the Badlands of North Dakota. We arrive home early today with many memories to share with family and friends.
