Canadian Rockies: Banff & Yoho National Parks

Lying along the east side of the Continental Divide and south of Banff National Park is the stunningly
pristine natural area of the Canadian Rockies—Kananaskis Country. Here you leave the crowds to be
immersed in the scenic landscape of alpine meadows spilling down from craggy, snowcapped peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Following quiet trails in Yoho National Park, you are met by a countryside bejeweled with crystal icy rivers, fresh alpine air, and meadows that teem with brilliant wild flowers. In the evenings, you celebrate your discoveries in topnotch, Rocky Mountain style and comfort—the first inn is a cozy, Swiss-style backcountry lodge where you unwind in front of a warm fire, indulge in afternoon tea, and soak in a steaming hot tub. The final two nights are spent at a splendid lakeside lodge where individual hand-hewn log accommodations boast fireplaces, trend-setting cuisine, and luxuriant ambiance befitting the drama of this region.
