2. Glacier National Park
Travel south through the Peigan Reserve to Waterton Lakes
National Park, then across the border to Montana and Glacier
National Park. The park’s isolated location, which means fewer

Park on the shores of an alpine lake. Meals BLD
3. Going-To-The-Sun Road

America.” Weather permitting, take a journey over the
spectacular Going-to-the-Sun Road aboard Glacier National Park’s
classic red, restored 1930s-vintage touring buses. Skirt the
shores of St. Mary’s Lake as you depart the park; cross the
Continental Divide and arrive at Lake McDonald for an overnight
stay. Meals BLD
4. Kootenay National Park
Head into the heart of Canada’s timberlands to Kootenay
National Park; see the bright red walls of Sinclair Canyon, and
travel through Radium Hot Springs. Relax tonight at your
world-renowned Fairmont resort nestled on the shores of emerald
Lake Louise. Meals BLD

** Glacier National Park is one of the most scenic and remote
National Parks in North America. Lake McDonald Lodge and Many
Glacier Hotel, the best hotels located inside the park, are
operated by the National Park Service and are only open three
months each year; the service staff are part-time and relatively
inexperienced. Also, with a short season, it is economically
difficult for these hotels to improve their facilities.
Therefore, these hotels will not compare to Tauck’s hotels in
other locations. We expect you’ll find the majestic scenery of
the park well worth visiting despite the marginal accommodations
and service. Hotels are subject to change due to weather
conditions.
