| “ | The Canadian Rockies, which straddle the Alberta-British Columbia border, are renowned as one of the world’s most distinctive and striking mountain chains. Part of the greater North American Cordillera, a system of ranges that spans from Mexico to Alaska, the mountains of the Canadian Rockies feature numerous glaciers, sheer cliff faces, high mountain lakes, and peaks that rise to 12,972 feet above sea level. These mountains attract alpinists, photographers, trekkers, and mountain lovers from throughout the globe to bask in their natural magnificence. Venturing to the Canadian Rockies is a humbling experience, whether scaling their heights, hiking beneath any of the range’s looming massifs—or flying amid their airy summits. This bush trip explores the heart of the Canadian Rockies, including those of Jasper National Park, Glacier National Park, and the chain’s crown, Mount Robson. Beginning at British Columbia’s Tumbler Ridge Airport, which lies amid rolling forest to the east of the crest of the range, the journey heads into the heart of this alpine wonderland. The route continues south along the spine of the range, soaring amid knife-edge ridges, flying past hanging glaciers, and exploring some of Canada’s most rarified ground before coming to an end at Cranbrook\/Canadian Rockies International Airport. |
