What you’ll do

Visiting Canadian Rockies for 7 days in summer and want to see the best of best? This itinerary is for you!

PS: The days are long in the summer, so this itinerary is packed! It starts in Banff and ends in Jasper, so you might have to count extra time/aays for getting from/to airport.

Start your day early and drive to Vermilion Lakes that are just outside of town. Fingers crossed the water is calm so you can snap some epic photos of reflections of Mt. Rundle in the water.
