Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Vancouver to the Rockies route?

This one branches off into Yoho and Kootenay National Parks on the BC side instead of continuing to Banff — a good pairing or alternative if you've already done Banff and Lake Louise.

Is the Radium Hot Springs soak included?

No, admission is optional and paid on-site.

Can this connect onward to Banff?

Yes — let us know at booking if you'd like to continue from Golden or Radium into Alberta.
