Today is a visual sensation that almost defies the English language.

Lake Louise is just the warm-up for a drive up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper, beneath towering mountains, and alongside dozens of glaciers. Bow Lake, Peyto Lake and Maligne Canyon are just some of the spectacular sights on our way to Jasper. We stay overnight in the alpine resort town of Jasper with exceptional sightseeing, including a boat cruise on amazing Maligne Lake.

Tiny Ketchikan is just three miles long and three blocks wide, but here you can be sure to find Alaska’s busiest waterfront buzzing with boat planes, fishing boats, pleasure craft, and busy fishermen.

Beneath an ice field that never melts, on a waterway that never freezes, Juneau is the disarmingly beautiful capital of Alaska. The Mendenhall Glacier is the not-to-be-missed attraction.

The park is home to over 1,000 glaciers, the majority of which nestle in the surrounding mountains, connecting land to sky like nature’s skyscrapers. Soaring to 15,000 feet, Glacier Bay’s ranges are the highest coastal peaks in the world; their abundant snowfall offering the perfect breeding ground for glaciers to take shape.

Nestled on the southern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia’s capital city, Victoria, is an intoxicating blend of historic streets, Victorian architecture, and dramatic craggy coastlines. Here you’ll find a perfect balancing act between old and new, where the legacies left by indigenous populations are imprinted alongside fairy-tale castles and gardens that stay in bloom year-round.

This morning, we bid our goodbyes to new friends and begin our journey home with many wonderful memories of this spectacular travel experience.
