Treat your children or grandchildren to a learning adventure in the majestic Canadian Rockies. Together you’ll explore glaciers a thousand feet deep, view thundering waterfalls, and search for elk, moose, bighorn sheep, and bears. You’ll also canoe, hike, and ride horses, before embarking on one of the most scenic train rides in North America. You’ll travel from Jasper National Park to Vancouver on an overnight journey that takes in broad valleys, peaks that jut high above the timberline, and hanging glaciers. The trip concludes with two days in sophisticated Vancouver where children will be treated to a behind-the-scenes visit to the world-famous Vancouver Aquarium. Co-sponsored by Mount Holyoke Alumnae Association.
