On this spectacular vacation, discover the natural wonders of some of North America's most breathtaking national parks. Begin your trip in Canada with a city tour of Vancouver and time to explore Vancouver on your own. Travel to orchard-graced Kelowna and on to British Columbia's Glacier National Park. On Roger's Pass, enjoy panoramic views of peaks taller than 10,000 feet then continue to Yoho National Park. Crossing into Alberta, explore the beauty of Banff National Park, the scenic heart of the Canadian Rockies. Ride on the Banff gondola up Sulphur Mountain and enjoy the tranquil setting of this mountain resort. Travel south to Waterton Lakes National Park and enter Montana through Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Take a trip aboard the famous vintage red "Jammer" bus along the spectacular Going-to-the-Sun Road. The Going-to-the-Sun Road crosses 6,664-foot-high Logan Pass and offers alpine scenery where jagged mountain peaks, deep green forests, pristine lakes, and meadows dominate the landscape.

Drive to Helena, Montana's historic capital, for an orientation tour. Then continue to Yellowstone National Park, the world's first national park, where you find yourself surrounded by stunning waterfalls and half the world's geothermal features including Old Faithful. Drop south to stunning Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park and bring your appetite for a chuck wagon cookout and Wild West show in Jackson. A full day in Jackson gives you time to stroll along the downtown boardwalks or take an optional scenic float trip on the Snake River to view wildlife and brilliant scenery. Travel to Salt Lake City and enjoy a sightseeing tour of Utah's capital. Stop in Bryce Canyon National Park and see the bright red, yellow, and pink pillars called "hoodoos." Cross the Painted Desert to the world-famous Grand Canyon National Park, where you stay at a hotel located on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Take a stroll and savor the magnificent sunset. Finally, travel on legendary Route 66 to Las Vegas, where a sightseeing tour and three overnights, plus plenty of leisure time, round out this incredible vacation to some of the most beautiful national parks in Canada and the Western United States.
