    Banff and Jasper: A Custom Land Expedition

    1–6 June 2026 · Canadian Rockies

    In June 2026 we took the train from Seattle to Vancouver and overnight to Jasper, spent two nights in Jasper and two in Banff, and flew home from Calgary. We took a food tour and a gondola ride in Jasper, cruised Maligne Lake, went looking for wildlife, stopped at the Columbia Icefield on the drive south, and hiked at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.
