Western Canada Travel Guide

Find your slice of heaven in Canada's beautiful Rocky Mountains

Canada's majestic Rocky Mountains take the prize as the most photographed geographical feature in the country. During the winter months, Whistler's beauty and Banff's ski-culture draws extreme adventurists and hobby-skiers alike. From elite heli-skiing to powder puff peaks, winter thrills are free for the asking here.

The counter-culture is alive and well in Vancouver, western Canada's biggest city and the country's version of Amsterdam. Nights come alive in the Gastown and West End districts of the city, with everything from ultra-hip lounges to traditional Irish pubs. The eco-minded will find nirvana in the old growth forests that flank the city's outer fringes.

The Okanagan valley, a Shangri-La for wine lovers and the Columbia River Valley's Radium Hot Springs will appease your travel-weary muscles.
