Best of the West motorcycle tour

Cruise through the scenery of British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains on this Best of the West motorcycle tour. If you only have one opportunity to visit Western Canada, this is the motorcycle trip to take. This is our most popular trip because it gives travellers the chance to experience the very best of British Columbia and Alberta. Your trip starts with departure from Whistler heading north on Highway 99, the Sea to Sky Highway. You pass through Pemberton and climb beside the teal waters of Lillooet Lake along the Duffey Lake Road. After winding through the lush Coast Mountains, the climate becomes arid as you enter the gold rush country. With the sun at your back, you follow the Cayoosh Canyon west to Lillooet, where you join roads that follow two of the great rivers of BC: the Fraser and the Thompson. Past the Ginseng fields of the benchlands, you end our day at another famous mountain retreat. Your next stop takes you north to the heart of the powerful Canadian Rocky Mountains and the stunning scenery of Jasper. The following day offers a chance to explore the beauty of Jasper National Park on foot, by tram, by bicycle or by a motorcycle ride to Maligne Lake or Miette Hotsprings, where the abundance of wildlife has to be seen to be believed.

Your ride then turns south along the “Icefields Parkway,” through glacier country. “The views are truly unparalleled,” said Robert Smith of Moto-Euro when he travelled this road. Next stop: Banff, one of Canada’s true gems. The following day provides a memorable ride through the wide valled and towering peaks of Kananaskis Country. Huge, undisturbed mountain vistas and wildlife sightings are numerous in this area. Your evening is spent soaking in mountain pools at the base of Fernie Mountain. Following a ride along the twisting shoreline of Kootenay Lake, you stop in the historic town of Nelson. This stop-over offers riders a wonderful loop through the Kootenay Mountain region or a day to explore the many activities the area has to offer. Next, you ride for wine country and the arid rolling hills of the Okanagan Valley. Again, a day’s rest either offers some great riding or a chance to enjoy some fine wines and dining at a lakeside resort. Winery tours, golf and every imaginable water sport are waiting just outside your hotel. Your final ride takes you back along the banks of the mighty Fraser River, then onto a winding mountain road, past Duffey Lake and the return route to Whistler.
