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.
