The Great West and Majestic Rockies

Marvel at many of nature’s wonders in the spectacular snow-capped Rocky Mountains.

See elk, bear, moose etc in their natural habitat. View pristine mountain lakes and rugged peaks as you learn about the geology of these mountains. Stand on the triple continental divide where water flows to one of North America’s 3 oceans. Note the dramatic change in landscape, climate, flora and fauna as you move westward from the Rockies to the Pacific! Walk on a glacier, see elk wandering through the streets of Banff and be amazed at the colour of Lake Louise, truly an awesome sight caused by glacial silt. Take the exciting Zip Trek Eco tour. Western Canada is an awe-inspiring place with scenery unmatched anywhere in the world. It is a unique place of learning and excitement – the perfect place for an educational tour in Earth Science.
