THE ITINERARY Day 1 Arrive Vancouver Welcome to outdoorsy, nature loving Vancouver! Regarded as one of the world's most naturally beautiful cities, Vancouver is framed by dramatic vistas on all sides and is the kind of place where, given its close proximity to nature, you can ski in the morning and swim in the ocean by early afternoon. After settling in to your hotel you'll meet your Travel Director this afternoon, then you're free to head out and uncover the city's many delights. Take a stroll through Stanley Park, or alternatively explore Vancouver's diverse culinary scene which boasts some of the best Asian cuisine in all of North America. Hotel - Pacific Gateway Hotel Day 2 Vancouver – Victoria (2 Nights) This morning's sightseeing tour of lovely Vancouver will visit the city's oldest neighbourhood, Gastown, which was designated a National Historical Site in 2009. You'll also visit buzzy Chinatown and admire the famous collection of totem poles at Stanley Park, before catching the ferry to the capital of British Columbia, Victoria. Docking at Swartz Bay and making the short drive into the city, you'll no doubt be struck by the English influence of Victoria. A sightseeing tour of the city will take you along the waterfront district and into the downtown area, passing the Parliament Buildings, Government Street and through Beacon Hill Park so you can really get your bearings. Keen to explore even further? Victoria has more cycle routes than any other Canadian city, so the best way to get around is undoubtedly on two wheels. Hotel - Comfort Inn and Suites Day 3 Victoria Sightseeing and Free Time Breakfast this morning is a real treat - you'll be heading to the world famous Butchart Gardens in the Blue Poppy Restaurant where, surrounded by beautiful blossoms and blooms, you'll eat a fresh, seasonal breakfast with sunlight pouring in from the vast skylights above. Feeling full, the rest of the day is yours to explore Victoria your way. Keen to 02 2362800 02 2376156 [email protected] Holiday Tours & Travel (Thailand) Ltd. (11/133) @holidaytoursth Holiday Tours TH www.holidaytoursthailand.com make your visit here memorable? Why not join our Whale Watching Optional, where you'll head out into the protected waters of Haro Strait and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to try and catch a glimpse of the orca whales who are known to reside here in spring and summer. Of course, with wild animals sightings are never guaranteed, but even if the orcas are a no show you'll be sure to spot magnificent bald eagles, porpoises and seals. Included Meals – Iconic Breakfast Day 4 Victoria – Whistler (2 Nights) First up on today's agenda is Chemainus, a seaside community and former industrial town that is best known for its series of giant outdoor murals depicting local history. Hopping on board a ferry across the Georgia Strait and arriving into Horseshoe Bay, you'll then travel along the iconic Sea-to-Sky Highway, one of the world's most scenic drives. We challenge you not to keep your eyes to the horizon as you pass cascading waterfalls, jagged mountain peaks and the dreamy ocean vistas of Howe Sound, before stopping off at Shannon Falls Provincial Park, which boasts the third highest waterfall in all of BC. Still in awe of the scenery served up by today's drive, you'll finish today in the alpine village of Whistler, which sits nestled in the shadows of the Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. Hotel - Delta Hotels by Marriott Whistler Village Suites Included Meals - Breakfast Day 5 Whistler Free Time With a free day in Whistler, the choice is yours for how to explore this pretty adventure playground. Spend your day hiking or biking one of the many trails, explore the labyrinth of lanes that make up Whistler village, or make the most of our Optional activities, each one more exhilarating than the next! You could find yourself soaring into the skies on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, admiring the turquoise waters of the mile high Garibaldi Lake from above, whitewater rafting down the Green river, or zip lining at 100km per hour amidst the stunning mountain wilderness. When we said exhilarating, we weren't joking! Day 6 Whistler – Sun Peaks No doubt still on a high from yesterday's high-flying pursuits, you'll leave Whistler behind as you venture along scenic Duffey Lake Road, spotting the freshwater fjord of Seton Lake, and the ominous sounding Mt. Rohr along the way. Following the once treacherous Cariboo Wagon Trail, which formed part of the Gold Rush Route, your final port of call for today is Sun Peaks, one of British Columbia's best loved ski resorts. Winter time here sees ski and snowboard enthusiasts from across the globe flocking to this pretty little town to enjoy just some of the 135 ski runs that pepper the horizon. In the warmer months, the ski lifts stay open to provide access to more than two dozen hiking and mountain bike trails, making Sun Peaks yet another BC outdoorsy gem. Hotel - Sun Peaks Lodge Day 7 Sun Peaks – Jasper (2 Nights) Fall in love with the gorgeous prairie provinces of Canada this morning as you drive through the white fenced ranch lands that surround the Yellowhead Highway. Keeping a firm eye on the snowcapped peaks of the Columbia Mountains in the distance, it will be cheers all round as you catch a first glimpse of Mount Robson, the most prominent mountain in the North American Rockies and the highest point in the Canadian range. Finally, you'll finish up today in unpretentious, heart warming Jasper, which sits smack bang in the heart of one of the most beautiful protected wildernesses in the world. Hotel - Lobstick Lodge 02 2362800 02 2376156 [email protected] Holiday Tours & Travel (Thailand) Ltd. (11/133) @holidaytoursth Holiday Tours TH www.holidaytoursthailand.com Day 8 Jasper National Park Free Time Today promises to be action packed! Stepping outside and smelling the fresh mountain air, let the prospect of a day exploring stunning Jasper bring a smile to your face. As the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies your options are limitless, and as always we've also got a range of exciting Optionals on hand to help personalise your experience. Perhaps you'll choose a gentle float trip down the Athabasca River, which provides ample wildlife spotting opportunities, or maybe a guided walk on the "Path of the Glaciers" as you make your way to the emerald green "Lake of Forgiveness". Have your heart set on exploring beautiful Maligne Lake? Then a boat cruise around the largest glacially fed lake in the Canadian Rockies has your name all over it. Day 9 Jasper – Icefields Parkway – Lake Louise – Banff (2 Nights) The magnificent Icefields Parkway awaits you today, a striking 232km stretch of road that cuts straight through the backbone of the Rockies, serving up ancient glaciers, mountain lakes and broad sweeping valleys en route. You’ll be making a stop at Columbia Icefield, which covers an area of over 200 square miles and is as deep as 1000 feet in parts. Then, continue on to explore the glacier fed and impossibly green Peyto Lake, one of the most photographed lakes in the world (and for good reason). Here, you’ll get the chance to ride the giant Ice Explorer across the Athabasca Glacier for a closer look at this ancient marvel of nature. Not done with the day yet, you’ll pay a visit to ethereal Lake Louise, which sits nestled at the base of the Victoria Glacier, before finally coming to a stop in dramatic, UNESCO World Heritage listed Banff. Hotel - Inns of Banff Day 10 Banff Sightseeing and Free Time Waking up today we hope you're full of energy, as the vast natural playground outside of your front door isn't going to explore itself. Venture into the stunning wilderness of Banff National Park, or better still you could take advantage of our enticing range of Optionals to truly unlock this region in real Costsaver style. We've got a variety of helicopter flights to see you soaring over sights including the Three Sisters Peak, the Sundance Ranges and the Gloria and Assiniboine Glaciers, or perhaps you'd prefer to catch the gondola to the very top of Sulphur Mountain for a bird's eye view of six mountain ranges within the Rockies, spotting glorious Lake Louise and Moraine Lake in the distance. However you choose to explore today, one things for sure - Banff will be an experience you'll never forget. Day 11 Banff – Vernon It will be another incredible drive today as you climb higher and higher to cross the Continental Divide at Kicking Horse Pass, stopping at the Spiral Tunnels on the way to marvel at one of the steepest railroad stretches in the world. You'll then travel through not one, not two, but three beautiful national parks, slowly descending from the mountains as the landscape changes from snowcapped peaks to sprawling wineries and fruit orchards, indicating that you've arrived in Canada's 'fruit basket', the Okanagan Valley. Surrounded by so many grapes the temptation for a tasting will be hard to resist, so you'll stop off at a local winery for a tour and tasting before heading on to Vernon, the unofficial capital of the Okanagan.

  • Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003
    Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003 Welcome to Snow Pass. This is the first GMC to be held at this location, and as far as we can ascertain, you are only the second group to have ever camped amongst this group of lakes. Many GMC’s are situated in valleys; however, this site is unusual as you are on the Continental Divide at an E-W “pass” between the Sullivan and Athabasca rivers, this is the arbitrary division between the Columbia Icefield to the south and the Chaba/Clemenceau Icefields to the north. But, you are also at a N-S pass between the Wales and “Watershed” glaciers, so you are at a “four way intersection” and from Base Camp you can access seven (7) different glacier systems. An intriguing local feature is the snout of the “Watershed” glacier, which actually divides so that it flows both west to join the Wales Glacier and thus drains to the Pacific and also turns east and feeds to the Arctic, which is why it is called the “Watershed” Glacier. In 2003, it may not be too obvious why in 1919 the Alberta/British Columbia Interprovincial Survey called this location “Snow Pass” but in the 1930’s (and even ? the early 1950’s) your Base Camp was still completely ice covered! There was permanent ice/snow from the “Aqueduct” to the “Watershed” to the “Toronto” Glaciers, an area of snow 5 km E-W and 10km N-S. Thus, in 1919, it really was a “snow pass”. See the appended “deglaciation” map. There is a wonderful photograph taken from the summit of Sundial peak in 1919 in the A/BC Volume, p.

  • The Columbia Ice-Field
    THE COLUMBIA ICE-FIELD THE COLUMBIA ICE-FIELD Department of Resources and Development Development Services Branch National Parks and Historic Sites Service Ottawa, Canada Athabasca Glacier—Columbia Ice-field showing Snow Dome in background. Jasper National Park, Alberta The Columbia Ice-field The Columbia Ice-field, centre of the greatest known accumulation of ice in the Rocky Mountains, is not only one of the most interesting ice-fields in North America, but certainly one of the most accessible. Near the Banff-Jasper Highway, it lies astride the British Columbia- Alberta boundary and at the dividing line between Banff and Jasper National Parks. With its outlet glaciers, the Columbia Ice-field covers an area of nearly 130 square miles, of which fully 50 square miles are more than 8,500 feet above sea level in the area of accumulation, usually called the "neve". From the great central ice reservoir, lying between Snow Dome, Mount Castleguard, and Mount Columbia and capping the Continental Divide for a distance of about 20 miles, three valleys radiate outward. Through them flow the Athabasca Glacier to the northeast, the Saskatchewan to the east, and the Columbia to the northwest. From other points smaller ice tongues flow into the surrounding valleys, and in a number of places ice tumbles over precipices to form reconstructed glaciers such as Dome Glacier at the head of Habel Creek, and the northward flowing glacier between Mounts Columbia and King Edward. The Columbia Ice-field is the source of three great rivers — the 765-mile Athabasca, a sub-tributary of the Mackenzie River, which flows into the Arctic Ocean; the Saskatchewan (1,205 miles) which crosses the Prairies and empties into Lake Winnipeg and, via the Nelson River, into Hudson Bay; and the Columbia (1,210 miles) which cascades its way through scenic gorges, crossing into the U.S.A before entering the Pacific Ocean.

  • Glaciers of the Canadian Rockies
    Glaciers of North America— GLACIERS OF CANADA GLACIERS OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES By C. SIMON L. OMMANNEY SATELLITE IMAGE ATLAS OF GLACIERS OF THE WORLD Edited by RICHARD S. WILLIAMS, Jr., and JANE G. FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.

  • The Columbia Glacier, Canada: a New View
    Middle States Geographer; 2017, 50:39-49 THE COLUMBIA GLACIER, CANADA: A NEW VIEW P. R. Baumann Department of Geog ra phy State University of New York, College at Oneo nta Oneonta, NY 1382 0 ABSTRACT: While nearly seventy percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh water. Most of the fresh water exists in glaciers and ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland. Glaciers in these areas terminate mainly in oceans and do not provide much fresh water for human and environmental needs. Until recently ice created in alpine ice fields and distributed by their outlet glaciers has been a dependable source of fresh water but, a retreat of these glaciers has led to a decline in fresh water resources. Thus, it is essential to study and monitor these ice fields and glaciers with respect to fresh water availability. Most of these ice fields and glaciers exist in relatively inaccessible areas and little is known about them. Remotely sensed imagery offers an excellent means for inventorying and measuring changes in these glaciers. Until recently such imagery did not provide much information about these glaciers other than obtaining some basic measurements. This paper focuses on a new high resolution satellite image that covers the Columbia Glacier, an isolated outlet glacier linked to the Columbia Icefield in the Canadian Rockies. Keywords: Columbia Glacier, Columbia Icefield, high resolution satellite imagery, remote sensing INTRODUCTION Approximately 69 percent of the fresh water on the Earth’s surface is contained in the frozen form of ice. More than 24 million km3 (5.7 million cubic miles) of ice covers the Earth’s surface (Gleick 1996).
