Today (September 19, 2016): top 10 things to see & do in the\u00a0Canadian Rockies.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Despite dreadful weather, I recently enjoyed a great holiday in Canada’s Rocky Mountains, a\u00a0pristine wilderness areas on a scale difficult to imagine.\u00a0Few places in the world offer such a diverse range of scenery<\/a> and activities, from kayaking\u00a0and spectacular drives\u00a0to backcountry hiking and wildlife spotting.\u00a0Last week, I published a\u00a0top 10 list of the best\u00a0hotels & lodges in the Canadian Rockies<\/a>, and I will give my unbiased opinion on those hotels (with pros & cons) in a series of trip reports over the coming weeks. Today, I share with you the best sights and activities in Banff, Yoho, Kootenay and Jasper National Park, to help you organise the perfect trip in the Canadian Rockies.<\/p>\n

10. RIDE THE ROCKY MOUNTAINEER<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

This world-renowned, luxurious train travels by daylight through the wild beauty of Canada\u2019s West and is one of the best ways to experience the majestic Canadian Rockies.\u00a0The passing scenery is nothing less than\u00a0pristine wilderness: black lava cliffs and canyons, glacial lakes, turbulent rivers, bighorn sheep, and maybe even a black or grizzly bear. Onboard,\u00a0you\u2019ll enjoy plentiful cooked-to-order breakfasts and lunches, served in the dining car, and unlimited cocktails and snacks served by personable hosts.<\/p>\n
