About This Tour

The Glacier National Park and Canadian Rockies vacation from Adventures by Disney begins in the heart of Montana's Big Sky Country. Venture into the pristine wilderness of Glacier National Park where alpine lakes and ice-capped peaks welcome you to explore. Then, travel across the border into Alberta, Canada and discover the rugged grandeur of Banff National Park. The adventure takes you from the excitement of whitewater rafting and spectacular gondola viewing, to the serenity of horseback riding and laid-back canoeing.
