Canadian Rockies sightseeing tours come in a variety of packages. There are day tours, as well as multi-day tours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the natural wonder that is the Canadian Rockies.
Following is what you can experience on some Canadian Rockies Sightseeing Tours.
Glacier National Park is located in Montana. This national treasure "has over 700 miles of trails consisting of pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and spectacular lakes," according to the U.S. National Park's official website. This park was inhabited by humans at least 10,000 years ago, according to recent archaeological surveys. Several Indian tribes were all natives of this land. Standing as a testament to this, within the park are historic residences (chalets and lodges), modes of transportation, and stories of Native Americans.
Lake Louise is a magical wonderland. According to Wikipedia.com, Lake Louise is "a hamlet located in the Canadian province of Alberta in Banff National Park. It is named for the nearby Lake Louise, which in turn was named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848-1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria."
Lake Louise features as it backdrops the snow-capped peaks of three mountains: Mount Templ, Mount Niblock and Mount Whyte. This quaint village has everything you need to enjoy a full-fledged vacation, or a short day trip. A sporting goods outlet, visitor's centre and grocery store are hre. And, the resort, Lake Louise Mountain Resort, is centrally located.

Dubbed the world's first International Peace Park, Waterton Lakes Park in Canada and Glacier Park in Montana make up this natural Canadian Rockies sightseeing destination. The official name given to the duo, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park (formed in 1932), is billed as a commemoration of the amity between Canada and the United States.

Alternatively called "the wonder trail", The Icefields Parkway is hands down one of the most breathtaking mountain routes in the world. Ambling from Banff to Jasper, the route is in the heart of the Alberta (Canadian) Rockies.
Described by one traveler as "One of the most beautiful roads I've ever seen... around every corner there's a new breathtaking snowy vista," you're likely to encounter wildlife, vistas of glaciers and snow-peaked mountains.
