Although the term majestic seems to constantly be used in combination with the Canadian Rocky Mountains, it is hard to thing of a better, more descriptive term. On my last Canadian Rockies vacation I had a chance to see mountain goats, black bears and a lovely herd of elk, and that was all from the window of my car as I drove the scenic highway through the Rogers Pass between Alberta and British Columbia. I was lucky enough to go in the early spring when the leaves where just budding and the whole landscape looked pristine and new.

It doesn’t seem to matter if you take a Via Rail train tour or book one of the many Canadian coach tours, you will have a breathtaking view of some of the most spectacular natural wildlife and landscape that you can imagine. The roads and rails travel from the fertile farmlands of the foothills up into the rugged barren and snow covered mountains, then back again into major metropolitan areas. If you do want to spend relaxing and rejuvenating vacation time in the Rockies and you enjoy hiking or trekking, summer and autumn are your best times to visit, but for those that enjoy winter sports then the months of November through April are ideal.
