About this road trip

Discover the spectacular landscapes of Western Canada on a carefully paced, one-way fly-drive from Vancouver to Calgary.

Begin beside the Pacific Ocean in cosmopolitan Vancouver before following the breathtaking Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler. Continue through British Columbia’s mountain interior to Clearwater and the waterfalls of Wells Gray Provincial Park, then travel past Mount Robson into Jasper National Park.

After two nights in Jasper, experience one of the world’s most beautiful mountain roads—the legendary Icefields Parkway. Glaciers, waterfalls and brilliant turquoise lakes accompany you south toward Banff, where two nights provide time to discover Lake Louise, the Bow Valley and the unforgettable scenery of Banff National Park.

The journey concludes with an easy drive to Calgary International Airport. Starting in Vancouver and finishing in Calgary eliminates unnecessary backtracking and allows more time to enjoy the Canadian Rockies at a comfortable pace.
