Canada Van Tour 207 - Ranches and Rodeos from
Calgary
Day 1 - Calgary
You are met at your Calgary arrival point and
transported across Alberta's rolling countryside
to a rustic guest ranch, where you will spend
the next six nights. A variety of wildlife are
frequently seen here, and you will enjoy the
very best of western hospitality. After a hearty
lunch, where you meet and get acquainted with
the other tour guests, you'll have the
opportunity to take a trail ride in the area
(flight arrival time permitting). Riding varies
from mountain valleys to high foothills,
crossing numerous streams, mountain meadows and
old Indian trails. This type of terrain allows
you the chance to periodically trot or canter if
desired. The guest ranch has horses to satisfy
the expert to novice rider. A horse is assigned
to you when you arrive. The wranglers will spend
time showing you how to become comfortable and
work with your mount. If you wish you can come
out in the mornings to help feed and groom the
horses. Once back from your trail ride you can
relax on the deck or take a hike in this
wilderness wonderland. Then it’s time to enjoy
the very best of western hospitality, including
our welcoming dinner, before spending a restful
night in this western hide
Day 2 Calgary
Get up early to help with feeding and grooming
the horses, or spend a little extra time
relaxing in your comfortable bed. Then, after a
satisfying breakfast, it’s off to a Traditional
Rodeo, OR perhaps a Native American Powwow and
Rodeo (if available). For those who are not
familiar with the Native American culture,
powwows are celebrations, social gatherings and
friendly competitions of traditional dancing,
drumming, singing, ceremonies and feasting, and
the bringing of many nations of people together.
Everyone is welcome regardless of race, creed,
religion, or color.
And at the rodeo, you will experience the
adrenalin rush of the cowboys' eternal battle to
overcome the raw power of the untamed animals of
the west. You will spend the day enjoying the
exhilaration and excitement of bucking broncos,
bull riders, steer wrestlers, calf ropers, and
barrel racers. Don't forget that your tour
guides are also professional photographers, and
they are always available and willing to help
you with your photography questions. In
addition, you will have the opportunity to meet
some of the rodeo cowboys and clowns for
conversation and photographs. At the conclusion
of the rodeo we head back to the guest ranch for
dinner, and another restful night.
Day 3 - Banff
After your morning trail ride or leisurely
meander around the guest ranch, and another of
those wonderful lunches, we’re off to the town
of Banff. You’ll take an eight minute ride in a
glass enclosed gondola to the 2288 m (7500 ft)
summit of Sulphur Mountain, where three levels
of outdoor observation decks offer a panoramic
360 degree view of Banff and the surrounding
area. We’ll introduce you to the majestic Banff
Springs Hotel. A unique blend of opulence and
seclusion, it has been a symbol of Rocky
Mountain magnificence for more than a century.
Styled after a Scottish baronial castle, the
Banff Springs offers stunning vistas, timeless
beauty and luxurious comfort in a pristine
wilderness. Then it’s on to the Banff town site,
where you can tour the many fine museums and
natural history centres, in addition to sampling
the extensive and unique shopping opportunities.
Once back at the guest ranch, and after having
savoured another delectable western dinner, you
will often enjoy some local cowboy and Native
Americans stories from your local hosts. But
don’t stay up too late, coming up tomorrow is
your chance to enjoy Calgary and its pleasures
before returning to the relaxation of the guest
ranch.
Day 4 - Calgary
We spend today in Calgary. Sitting at an
elevation of 1,139 m (3,740 ft) above sea level,
Calgary is located at the junction of the Bow
and Elbow Rivers and has a population of 904,987
(April 2002), making it the fifth largest city
in Canada.
Our first stop is The Canadian Wilds Exhibit at
the Calgary Zoo. You will wander through this
immersion habitat featuring animals from the
Aspen Woodlands to the Rocky Mountains. It is a
perfect location to start your wildlife viewing
- you are guaranteed to see animals here that
you may not have a chance to see anywhere else
during your trip. Get a close-up view of
mountain goats, cougars and grizzlies, wolves
and wood bison, as well as one of North
America’s most endangered species – the whooping
crane. Today’s lunchtime dining experience
features a revolving view of the city. The
Calgary Tower's famous revolving dining lounge
offers a unique setting. All tables enjoy an
unrestricted panoramic view through large 2.13
metre by 1.5 metre tinted windows. You can see
every angle of the City, the Rocky Mountains and
the surrounding areas without leaving your
chair. After lunch, it's off to Heritage Park.
You will receive a guided tour of this real
frontier town. And the people are as real as
their town. From the baker to the blacksmith,
they're lovers of the true West. Travel back in
time and discover the treasures of Western
Canada's past. All the sights and sounds of
pre-1914 life are recreated at Canada's largest
living historical village. You can cruise the
lake aboard the S.S. Moyie steam wheeler, or
tour the town by steam train, horse-drawn wagon,
carriage or old-fashioned bus. Or just take a
stroll down Main Street. And the funs not over
yet! Get ready for a special treat as you enjoy
dinner at Ranchman's Restaurant. Often referred
to as Canada's Greatest Honky Tonk and Country
Night Club, Ranchman's is the Official
Hospitality Location of the Canadian
Professional Rodeo Association. Ranchman's
proudly displays over sixty championship trophy
saddles of Canadian and World champions. The
walls spring alive with daring and danger-packed
action photos of legendary showdowns between man
and beast. Many of Country Music's greats have
also performed here. And, Ranchman's is proud to
have been voted the Canadian Country Music
Association's Country Club of the Year on three
occasions. Ranchman's authenticity has also
attracted many movie location shoots; including
Cool Runnings and Unforgiven. In addition,
Ranchman's offers a full country-style menu
featuring AAA Alberta beef, chicken and ribs,
all slow-cooked to perfection and tender-spiced
with their own brand of western barbecue sauce.
Entertainment starts at high noon and features
an all-Canadian lineup of the best bands north
of the 49th parallel. Then it's back to the
guest ranch for a great night's sleep before
another full day of fun and enjoyment.
Day 5 - Kananaskis
Valley
After another of the wonderful breakfasts that
you’ve become accustomed to, you have the
opportunity to enjoy another trail ride. Or, if
yesterday’s activities were just too much fun,
you can relax on the deck or take a quiet hike
before lunch.The afternoon offers you whitewater
rafting in the Kananaskis Valley. This is a
great experience for families, or as a group
outing. Both the Kananaskis and Elbow Rivers are
beautiful rivers consisting of grade I - III
rapids (gentle to intermediate) and appropriate
for first time paddlers. Approximately 2 - 2.5
hours will be spent surfing, splashing and
floating on a professionally guided raft on one
of Western Canada's mountainous rivers. OR you
have the opportunity to enjoy a trail ride,
relax on the deck, or take a leisurely hike
around the familiar environment of the guest
ranch. Oh yes, and after all that excitement, we
haven’t forgotten to have another terrific
dinner ready for you. And as always, it’s topped
off with home-baked bread and pastry.
Day 6 - Columbia
icefield - Lake Louise
Today you will experience the incomparable
beauty of the rugged and majestic Rocky
Mountains. Our first stop is the Columbia
Icefields, an area of glacial ice covering some
390 sq. km with a maximum depth of 365 m (1210
ft). Bigger than the City of Vancouver, the
continuous accumulation of snow feeds eight
major glaciers and its meltwater feeds streams
and rivers that pour into the Arctic, Atlantic,
and Pacific oceans. You will take a tour of the
icy slopes in a specially designed Snocoach that
goes to the middle of the glacier on a 5
kilometer round trip journey. Your driver/guide
will explain how glaciers are formed and point
out interesting geological features as you
travel in safety and comfort. At the icefall
below the glacier headwall, you will have the
option of stepping out onto ice formed from snow
that fell as long as 400 years ago. After lunch
at the Icefields, it's a short trip to your
first view of the imposing Victoria Glacier
nestled behind beautiful Lake Louise. You will
be left with no doubt as to why this is known as
the "Jewel of the Rockies." Not only have
international royalty, Hollywood stars and heads
of state come to Lake Louise to relax, but
increasingly the rest of the world is
discovering its simple charms as well. Lake
Louise, with its blue-green water set against
the stark backdrop of Victoria Glacier, is
probably the most beloved and most photographed
scene in the Canadian Rockies. Chateau Lake
Louise presents lake-side views of the glacier,
while offering old-world charm and elegance
amidst the wilderness. Then it's back to the
guest ranch. Where, after a leisurely dinner,
you can settle into your comfortable
accommodations, and enjoy a good night's rest in
preparation for another full day tomorrow.
Day 7 - Calgary
After breakfast, you can go on a trail ride,
savour the majestic scenery on the beautiful
hiking trails as you watch for birds and
wildlife, or just sit back and soak it all in.
The morning and the choice is yours. Then, after
lunch the next leg of your journey is a drive
through Kananaskis Country (flight time
permitting). This is an unspoiled paradise of
towering mountains, pristine lakes, evergreen
valleys, and glacial streams. The name
Kananaskis is rich with history. Captain John
Palliser, an early explorer of the valley,
identified the area by taking the name of a
local Indian. Palliser wrote that he had heard
of an Indian named Kananaskis, "giving an
account of a most wonderful recovery from the
blow of an axe to the head - which stunned, but
failed to kill him." At the end of the day you
arrive back in Calgary, where we'll be happy to
deliver you to your onward location

Canada Van Tour 208 - Adventure Camping Tour
Vancouver to Whitehorse
Day 1 - Vancouver - Clinton
This one way camping adventure tour from
Vancouver follows the historic gold rush trail
to Whitehorse, a route that weaves through lands
as diverse as they are pristine. We visit the
historic 1860's restored town of Barkerville in
central BC before journeying north-east to K'san,
where we encounter longhouses and totem poles.
Connecting with the Stuart Cassiar Highway, we
begin a wilderness journey of over 700
kilometers to join the main trunk Alaska
Highway. A short walk from the roadside brings
us to the unspoiled wilderness that still
belongs to the wolf packs, the grizzlies and
mountain goats. Along the way, we detour into
Alaska to visit Hyder to spot grizzly bears
fishing for salmon. Joining the Alaska Highway,
we explore the almost abandoned mining towns of
Faro and Keno. After a night at the hot springs,
we head for the Alaskan port city of Skagway
before arriving in Whitehorse. The sheer beauty
of this part of North America, its thin, magical
light, the short, star speckled summer nights
and the mountains laced with snow and glittering
waterfalls, is hard to exaggerate. Travelling
from Vancouver, we leave the lush Coastal
Mountains and Pacific Ocean and follow the Trans
Canada Highway to the arid landscape of the
Fraser Canyon. The highway through the Fraser
Canyon is an engineering marvel that includes
tunnels, dramatic ascents and descents, and
splendid views of the Fraser and Thompson
rivers. After passing through the Fraser Valley,
we arrive in Clinton where we overnight next to
a scenic lake.
Day 2 / Day 3 - Clinton
– Barkerville/Bowron Lakes
From Clinton we continue north along the Gold
Rush Trail to Quesnel. Here we turn east and
head into the Cariboo mountains to Barkerville.
On the way, we can stop in at Cottonwood House,
an original 1860’s Cariboo Road House, now
preserved as a living museum. Between 1862 and
1870, over 100,000 people travelled the Cariboo
Wagon Road, named the 'Eighth Wonder of the
World', converging on the goldfields, and the
bustling boomtown of Barkerville. Today,
Barkerville endures as a town of discovery, with
unique streetscapes, over 125 heritage
buildings, the Theatre Royal shows, exhibits,
entertaining street theatre, and unique shops
filled with Victorian-era merchandise. Not far
from Barkerville lies Bowron Lake Provincial
Park. A wildlife sanctuary of 149,207 hectares,
this park offers a wide variety of outdoor
adventures including, canoeing, fishing, hiking
and swimming. A wide variety of wildlife lives
in the park, including moose, deer, mountain
goat caribou, black bear, grizzly bear,
waterfowl, beaver, and otter. Rainbow trout,
lake trout, bull trout, Rocky Mountain whitefish
and Kokanee salmon inhabit the lakes. The Bowron
Lakes are also a major stopover on the bird
migration route, so bring your binoculars and
telephoto lens.
Day 4 - Barkerville –
Paarens’s Beach Park
Continuing north we turn west onto the
Yellowhead Highway at the town of Prince George
and make our way to Paaren’s Beach Provincial
Park. On route we will stop at Fort St James
Historical Park. Established by Simon Fraser for
the North West Company in 1806, Fort St James
was the first post in the territory of the
Carrier Indians. Ft. St. James was once the hub
of fur trade transportation and communication
routes. Nestled on the shore of Stuart Lake,
many of the original buildings are still
standing. After visiting Fort St James we
continue another 11 kms along the road to set up
camp at Paaren’s Beach Provincial Park. Situated
on the south-west shore of pristine Stuart Lake,
Paarens Beach is a small provincial park that
few people outside of the area know about. With
uncrowded campgrounds, and a large beach, it is
an ideal base from which to explore the rich
history and enjoy the multitude of recreational
opportunities around Stuart Lake.
Day 5 - Ksan/Hazelton
From Paaren’s Beach we continue along the
Yellowhead Highway – west to the Stewart Cassiar
Highway. We make camp at K’san located along the
Skeena River, an area rich in the cultural
northwest Canadian First Nations People. Here we
will tour the Historical Village of Ksan. As a
replicated ancient village, ‘Ksan illustrates
many features of a Gitxsan village from the
distant past. The large decorated house fronts
and totem poles of the village are visible from
the water along the Skeena River. In conjunction
with other features, such as the smoke house and
food cache, ‘Ksan illustrates characteristics
typical of a past Gitxsan village. After we set
up camp we tour the other surrounding native
villages. Nearby is the ancient village of
Gitanmaax at the confluence of the Bulkley and
Skeena Rivers in the community of Hazelton.
Gitanmaax has for centuries maintained
communities at important canyons and junctions
on the Skeena River. This location was an
important fishing site and transportation hub.
The grass-covered hill at Kitwanga was the scene
of fierce First Nation tribal battles two
centuries ago, which resulted in the destruction
of the Gitwangak Fort and cedar dwellings that
once stood to protect the Gitksan people, their
fishing sites and the active trade routes in the
region. At Kitwancool we view some of the oldest
totem poles in Canada, many of them made famous
by the Canadian Painter Emily Carr.
Day 6 / 7 - Ksan –
Hyder/Alaska
Our journey continues north along the Stewart
Cassiar Highway with striking views of the
Coastal and Cassiar mountain ranges. Here we
cross the only unmanned border between Alaska
and Canada. Crossing into Alaska we make camp
near the tiny village of Hyder, Alaska. This
area is heavily populated with black and grizzly
bears. As we drop down to the coast, we make
stops at Bear Glacier and several of the giant
waterfalls that line steep mountainous road.
Stopping at the town of Stewart, we’re able to
view Canada’s most northerly ice-free port.
While in Hyder we may be able to view grizzlies
fishing for salmon in the nearby river and bald
eagles soaring on the thermals. On Day 7 we
drive into the mountains through Tongass
National Park for sweeping views of the Salmon
Glacier and hike in the nearby mountains. In the
evening travellers can try their luck consuming
(and keeping down!) a local brew. This local
tradition is known as being “Hyderized
Day 8 - Boya Lake
Travelling north along the Stewart-Cassiar
Highway we’re surrounded by snow-capped mountain
peaks of the Coastal Range, vast expanses of
Canadian wilderness and small pristine lakes.
Arriving at Boya Lake Provincial Park in the
early afternoon, we set up camp before exploring
the area. Boya Lake at 4,597 hectares offers a
wide variety of water recreation with its superb
water clarity and colour, beckoning the
traveller to explore its many islands and bays.
Boya Lake is situated on the Liard Plain, an
area carved out by glaciers 20,000 years ago.
The area is characterized by elongated ridges,
or drumlins and eskers. It is also one of the
few lakes in the north that is warm enough for
swimming. Boya Lake offers two hiking trails, a
mountain bike trail and limitless bays and
islands to discover by canoe. Optional canoe
rentals.
Day 9 - Boya Lake –
Frances Lake
Our next destination is Watson Lake, home of the
Signpost Forest, a collection of sign posts
numbering over 20,000 which was started by a
homesick US Army soldier in 1942. We follow
Yukon tradition by erecting our own sign at the
Watson Lake Signpost Forest. We then venture off
the Alaska Highway and plunge into the Yukon
wilderness to set up camp on Frances Lake, a
sacred native gathering place. Optional Northern
Lights Show in Watson Lake
Day 10 - Frances Lake -
Faro
From Frances Lake we make our way to Ross River
and the abandoned native village of the Pelly
People. From here we travel into the southern
center of the Yukon Territory to the tiny town
of Faro.
Day 11 / 12 - Faro -
Keno
Travelling northwest we turn east and head off
the beaten path to the tiny settlement of Keno.
Keno City lies nestled in the mountains at the
end of the Silver Trail, a small frontier
community of 25. Here we can explore the great
back country by hiking, fishing, rock-hunting,
gold panning, and photography. Our tour leader
will take the group on a walking tour through
Keno City including the Keno Mining Museum and
Alpine Interpretive Centre. On Day 2 we drive up
Keno Hill to the famous signpost. The road winds
its way to an elevation of 6000 feet, and the
view from the top is well worth the trip. A
network of trails criss-crosses the landscape
through historic mine sites, offering some of
the most spectacular mountain vistas in the
North.
Day 13 - Keno – Takhini
Hot Springs
From Keno we travel south towards the city of
Whitehorse. We make camp at Takhini Hot Springs.
A swimming pool fed by natural hot springs and
surrounded by rolling hills and hiking trails,
the developed Takhini Hot Springs might be just
what you need as we near the completion of our
journey. After swimming, we can refresh
ourselves at the restaurant. Optional activities
include horseback riding, hiking, and wagon
rides.
Day 14 - Takhini Hot
Springs – Skagway - Whitehorse
Before finishing the tour we take a day trip
south to the Alaskan Town of Skagway. Stopping
at Carcross fro a brief visit of Emerald Lake
and the tiniest desert in the world, we make our
way across the moonscape territory leading down
to the Lynn Canal. Passengers have free time to
explore this goldrush boomtown before returning
to Whitehorse. For those passengers wanting to
