Day One: We board our deluxe motorcoach this morning and head out on our great adventure to the spectacular Canadian Rockies. We journey west on I-40 through the great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee to Knoxville and then north on I-75 into the “Bluegrass state” of Kentucky. We’ll take a sightseeing drive through the famous Kentucky Horse Country, cross the Ohio river at Louisville and travel to Indianapolis for overnight.
Day Two: This morning we travel north into the “Land of Lincoln” – the great state of Illinois. Mid-morning we stop in Chicago for a chance to step out on the famous “Skywalk”, then travel I-90 west and enter the “Dairy State” of Wisconsin. We “get off the beaten path” and visit the National Dairy Shrine Museum in Fort Atkinson. The museum showcases the early days of milk production. Exhibits include an old creamery, milk barn, production equipment and milk hauling equipment. We’ll continue on to Madison (Wisconsin’s state capital) for overnight.
Day Three: Our route this morning takes us through the western park of Wisconsin (the heart of the logging country) and on into the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” – Minnesota. We’ll make a stop in St. Paul for a tour of the beautiful state capitol building and a sightseeing tour of the city, then travel to Brainerd for overnight.
Day Four: We’re in the heart of the lumbering country, so we have to start our morning with a big lumberjack breakfast (included) – then we’ll travel to Bemidji for a visit to the Information center which houses a wonderful collection of Paul Bunyan tools and artifacts with amusing names. Then we’ll step outside and have our picture made with Paul Bunyan and “Babe” – the big blue ox! This afternoon we’ll push further northwest, crossing the Red River into North Dakota and then the Canadian border into the province of Manitoba and on to Winnipeg for overnight.
Day Five: The scenery changes today as we head across Manitoba, passing through Portage La Prairie and Brandon, the heart of Canada’s agriculturally rich provinces. Wheat and other grains are grown here by the thousands of acres. A highlight today will be a visit to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Training Academy & Museum in Regina (in the province of Saskatchewan). The RCMP have been located in Regina since 1885. Remember the slogan, “We always get our man.” From here we’ll head northwest to the “Bridge City” of Saskatoon for overnight.
Day Six: We continue Northwest this morning crossing into the Canadian prov- ince of Alberta to the city of Edmonton. One of the largest cities in western Cana- da, Edmonton is a major supplier of petroleum & agriculture products to the rest of North America. Another highlight of our tour is a visit to the West Edmonton Mall – at over a mile long with 800 stores, 120 restaurants, casino, aquarium & 80 foot replica of a Spanish Galleon, there is truly “Something for everyone!”
Day Seven: Now the day we’ve all been waiting for....we depart Edmonton and head for the spectacular Canadian Rockies! We’ll travel the famous Yellowhead Highway and enter Jasper National Park at Hinton. This afternoon we’ll enjoy a two-hour cruise on Maligne Lake to the world famous Spirit Island (this is one of the most photographed spots in Western Canada!). Then we board the Jasper Tramway for a 1 1⁄4 mile trip to the top of Whistlers Mountain. There are vast areas of alpine tundra at the top (along with hiking trails, a restaurant and gift shop). We’ll overnight in the resort town of Jasper.
Day Eight: Another great adventure awaits us in the Canadian Rockies today! Our first stop will be at the famed Athabasca Glacier where we’ll board our specially equipped “Snowcoach” for a ride on the Glacier - a 2000 foot thick extension of the Columbia Icefield! Then we’ll travel south through the park to Lake Louise. With the majestic Victoria Glacier towering overhead, the icy blue lake and flower gardens, this historic resort is one of the most beautiful sights in the world!

This afternoon we cross back into the United States and enter the “Big Sky Country” of Montana. Our destination is Glacier National Park. At 1 million acres, the park is big, rugged and primitive. It is truly “natures unspoiled domain” and has not changed since Meri- wether Lewis saw it in the distance in 1806. We’ll overnight on the east side of the park.
Day Ten: Today we’ll board one of the park vehicles and take one of the most spectacular drives in the world! We'll travel the “Going to the Sun Highway” – over 50 miles of unsurpassed beauty.

Day Twelve: It's hard to imagine scenery any more spectacular than we’ve seen, but Yellowstone National Park is truly a sight to behold. We’ll enter from the west side, so we get a unique view of the park. Highlights will include, “Old Faithful” geyser, Mammoth Hot Springs, the Paint Pots, Artist Point and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Wildlife will abound throughout the park. Late this afternoon we’ll exit the park on the east side and travel to Cody, Wyoming for overnight.
Day Thirteen: Today finds us traveling through some of the most rugged and beautiful country of the old west as we depart Cody and journey south through Wyoming. We’ll cross the Bighorn Mountains and make several special stops on our way to Cheyenne, our home for tonight.
Day Fourteen: Cheyenne once had a reputation as “Hell on Wheels” when the Union Pacific Railroad reached here and brought with it professional gunmen, gamblers, soldiers, cowboys and outlaws. Saloons and cheap liquor made this a haven for desperadoes, confidence men and saloon girls. We’ll learn the history of the city this morning when we tour the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum. We’ll see a fantastic collection of weapons, carriages, clothing and western art. We’ll depart Cheyenne and travel east through the Cheyenne Indian Reservation – following the Platte River as it winds its way through the “Cornhusker State” of Nebraska. A special stop awaits us at Gothenburg when we visit the Pony Express Station & then continue to Lincoln for overnight.

Late this afternoon we’ll get a chance to take a transporter ride to the top of the famed Gateway Arch and visit the pioneer museum. This evening you can enjoy the activities along the waterfront or maybe try your hand at “Lady Luck” on one of the riverboat casinos.
