    town of Banff on an individual basis.

     

    Day 6: Canmore - Jasper

     

    Today we travel along the Icefields Parkway. With its many 
    beautiful lakes and waterfalls, it is probably the most scenic
    route in the Rocky Mountains. This day includes visiting the

    arrive in Port Hardy where we stay at the Kwa’lilas Hotel.

     

    Day 11: Port Hardy - Campbell River

     

    We depart from Port Hardy and go on to the small and very 
    picturesque fishing village of Telegraph Cove. From there we

    natural habitat. Later, we proceed to Campbell River where we 
    overnight at the Anchor Inn & Suites. 

     

    Day 12: Campbell River - Duncan - Victoria

     

    We depart from Campbell River and continue to Victoria today.

    Columbia. We overnight at the Embassy Inn, close to the Inner
