Canadian Rockies
|
||||||||||||||||
The most spectacular biking trip around!! 
In the Canadian Rockies, you cycle
along the rivers, in deep valleys or amid towering, snow-capped mountain peaks. Magnificent animals can be seen almost every day - from laughable marmots to moose and elk, mountain goats, wild sheep, caribou, and eagles. At lunchtime, your group may picnic at beautiful waterfalls tumbling their misty spray from hundreds of feet above you or at lakes of stunning blue and green. A mid-afternoon breakmay find you stopping to walk on a glacier or hike up to a magnificent alpine viewpoint. After dinner, you may slide down summer snowfields (fun!!) or soak your tired muscles in a deliciously steaming hot spring. You may have a little trouble sleeping &ndash you're so far north that it never gets fully dark!

“As I hoped, this was about a lot more than bike riding. It’s about learning how to deal with new situations, meeting and cooperating with people. It’s about self-confidence. Mission accomplished.”
