Several routes from Vancouver to Banff (3)

Group 3 This third route seems to be for overseas tourists. It lasts six days, including four days to Banff. On the first day of my trip to Banff, I also visited the ginseng farm through Kamloops, but I didn't go north that day, but went to Vernon to visit the last spike on the other two lines of the Pacific Railway, and then stopped at Golden. The next day, I will go north along Icefield Avenue, but from the itinerary, I will stop at Columbia Glacier (I won't go to the scenic spots near Jasper Town and Robertson Mountain), and then I will turn around and go south to Banff Town and Republic Falls, because I will go to Calgary that night, so it will take quite a long time on the way. The next day, after coming out of Calgary, I will go to Lake Louise and Lake Emerald. The itinerary of this day is relatively rich, depending on how the tour guide arranges it. Yoho National Park should also have famous scenic spots such as Takakkaw Waterfall and Natural Bridge, and it is not a special detour. The last day was basically a trip and a visit to the winery.

Day 1: Original place of residence-Vancouver

A professional guide will pick you up. After arriving in Vancouver by plane, tourists will gather at the visitor center at the airport. Visitors who arrive in Vancouver before noon will be sent for a half-day city tour to Stanley Park, the largest city park in North America, and Chinatown 1986, Gastown and salmon tasting in Washington, DC, where the World Expo will be held.

After that, I went to Fei Ying Depression between the mountains, where the last nail was laid on the Victoria Pacific Railway.
