Tour Overview:

This morning we will visit the famous "Last Spike" in the Pacific Railroad Memorial Park. Then we will pass through Yoho National Park and head to Vermilion Lake.

Rocky Mountains A Must
Loved the experience, made me proud to be a Canadian. We have some many beautiful wonders in this country. Riding through the mountains, visiting lakes and falls and the charming towns added to the experience. The hosts, Christopher and Ian were awesome. They were a great team with a wealth of information. The group was friendly and a joy to be with. Overall, some great memories.
