At our first stop, beside a glinting lake, excitable chin wagging may last long past sundown by the flickering campfire. Day 2/ 3 Yoho National Park- Hike or negotiate the rapids of well- named Kicking Horse River. In any case, the tumbling cascades, glassy lakes, glinting peaks and glaciers are drop- dead gorgeous. Day 4/ 5 Banff National Park- Boot up, saddle up and breathe in the crisp alpine air where Nature's bonanza includes beavers, bears, porcupines and elk. Ride the tramway to Sulphur Mountain's peak and recharge your batteries in the heavenly hot springs. Day 6 Lake Louise- The imposing chateau looks on as mountains cluster round the turquoise surface. As for you, well, you could always hike out to the Plain-of- Six- Glaciers or inspect the scene by paddle power on an optional canoe trip. Day 7/ 8 Jasper National Park- The widescreen scenery keeps on coming. A breathtaking Icefields Parkway drive leads you to this sprawling expanse whose bike trails, helicopter flights and ice- walks are the envy of the Canadian Rockies. Day 9/ 10 Wells Grey Provincial Park- The stillness, silence and isolation go up another notch. Overnight on Clearwater Lake, nature surely never felt closer than on your included outback canoe trip. Day 11 Cache Creek- On the old Gold Rush trail, this town still packs a frontier punch. All around, prickly cacti, brush and tumbleweed add to this appeal. Day 12/ 13 Vancouver- Stride, rollerblade or pedal your way round Stanley Park, or relax and let the free shuttle take the strain. Walk the Capilano Suspension Bridge, 230 head- spinning feet above the river before checking out the city nightlife. Day 14 Seattle- Puget Sound gives you one final wilderness vision before returning to Seattle, home of the original Starbucks! C anada's Rockies line up a supreme vision of the wild. Hiking is top- drawer and mountain bikers will be on cloud nine. Add in the wildlife, horseback riding, whitewater rafting and an overnight canoe trip to the list and you won't find two more exhilarating weeks.

Day 2 Okanagan Valley- This rich valley packs in orchards, vineyards and nigh on every outdoor pursuit going. Welcome to Canada! Day 3 Yoho National Park- Hike among the mirrored lakes, grizzled peaks, and some of Canada's highest waterfalls. Or, for the truly adventurous, raft the aptly named Kicking Horse River. Day 4- 6 Banff National Park- Blaze show- stopping trails in the footfalls or horse tracks of pioneers before you. Perhaps bounce across the bumpy terrain by mountain bike or hover above all by helicopter. One dunk in the hot springs and a drink or two later, you'll be sleeping like a log. Day 7 Calgary- This one- time Mountie outpost sure mixes it up. Socialise with the student contingent, embrace the frontier feel in spit- and- sawdust saloons or hang out at the world's biggest public skate park. Day 8 Lake Louise- A nickname like the " gem of the Rockies" is a lot to live up to. With an imposing chateau, panoramic trails and awesome hike to the teahouse, that really is no sweat for Lake Louise. Day 9/ 10 Jasper National Park- The Icefields Parkway provides a peach of a drive through endless flats, sheer ridges and spruce forests. Jasper's wildlife puts up a fight for your attention too; the sharp- eyed may glimpse grizzlies, wolves or caribou. Day 11/ 12 Wells Grey Provincial Park- Life jacket, paddle, sense of adventure? Check. Good, because an overnight canoe trip delivers pure, away- from- it- all adventure. Day 13 British Columbia- Off the lake and on to the Fraser River Valley - British Columbia's gold country. Day 14 Whistler- Get on your bike, zipline, hit the hiking paths or bungee. You see, Whistler's way, way more than just snow! Day 15/ 16 Vancouver- Along the ' Sea to Sky' highway, prime vistas escort you right into Vancouver. Once there, take to Stanley Park on two wheels, then regain your inner city slicker around A- grade museums and galleries or bustling Granville Market. Day 17- 19 Pacific Rim National Park- After a gentle ferry ride, pick another watery experience, like an included whale watching adventure or try sea kayaking between secluded coves. Day 20 Victoria- In BC's ' City of Gardens', the intrepid outdoor type should feel right at home. Try and catch the Parliament building lit up at night, you can never bring back too many photos. Day 21 Seattle- Enjoy every last drop of holiday time, leafing through bookstores, hanging out in coffee houses or sampling a local microbrew. T he name pretty much sums it up. Five national and provincial parks all dazzle with the mind- blowing good looks you'd expect of Canada's Rockies. Add big- hearted boomtowns and river rafting, energising hot springs and whale watching for a whole bunch of larger- than- life experiences.
