Weaving through Saskatchewan and Alberta, this self-drive itinerary will introduce you to the natural highlights and historic charms of two of the most beautiful provinces in Canada.
An adventurer’s playground filled with mountains, meadows and turquoise lakes, Banff is the perfect introduction to the province of Alberta. From here you’ll head to beautiful Lake Louise, before making the scenic drive to Jasper. Here you’ll have time to visit the mighty Columbia Icefield, go river rafting and spot local wildlife such as bears, elk and osprey.
From Jasper, you’ll take the road (or, in this case, the VIA Rail) less travelled to Saskatoon, gateway to the natural splendours of northern Saskatchewan. Next comes Regina, the capital of the province and within easy reach of Wascana Park with its vast lake and pretty walking trails. Finally, you’ll spend some time in Cypress Hills where you can go zip lining and enjoy phenomenal stargazing.
