Banff National Park is the foremost place that comes to mind while planning for Canada Rockies Tours.

Ride along the eight mile loop route to Banff Springs Golf Course and spot an elk on the way. Or else, ride to the Basin National Historic Site and the Cave and follow it up with a ride to Sundance Canyon along Sundance Road.
The Vermilion Lakes offer a spectacular sight in the Banff National Park area. Deer, elk and waterfowl are viewed easily. Watch out for bald headed eagles between the First and Second Vermilion Lakes. Be careful while you bike in this area so as to avoid collision with fellow cyclists.

Rafting in the Kicking Horse River is a thrilling adventure in the Canadian Rockies.

A professional photographer on board with you in the raft would provide commentary along the ride. At the end of this ride enjoy a sumptuous meal at the base camp from where you get a marvelous vies of Yoho National Park.

Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains would baffle you. Spanning over 10,800 square kilometers this mountain wilderness is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies.

Canmore and Kananaskis are two pristine towns in the Canadian Rockies. Canmore just outside Banff National Park is the main center of the Bow Valley Community. In this town experience the outdoor wilderness together with a visit to museums and cozy restaurants. Kananaskis Country, a park network, is a virtual playground and a supremely quiet recluse.
