For those touring the Canadian Rockies, and specifically the cluster of national parks and protected spaces that lie on the US border, there are two logical options for starting positions. You can fly into Canada itself and begin your journey from one of the airports in major cities, or you can fly into Seattle in the US and begin your trip from there. We have found that it makes far more sense to begin the trip in Seattle and cross the border in a group for numerous reasons, primarily that Seattle sits in a logistical place that makes sense as far as travel to the best destinations, and also the fact that Seattle is a large enough tourist location on it's own to provide better airfare prices and more flights from all over the world. The fact that Seattle itself is a large enough city to have all of the benefits that you would be looking for as a starting area alone makes it a perfect place to begin. The proximity to the beauty of the Canadian Rockies makes it even better. Bindlestiff Tours offers 7 day trips to Western Canada and visiting the areas of Kamloops, Yoho National Park, Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Ice Fields Parkway, Jasper National Park, Mount Robson, Clearwater, Whistler and Vancouver. The tours leave specific Sundays in June, July and August of 2018 and have two variations. The camping variation costs $1295 per person and the lodging version costs $1795 per person. We prefer the camping version because camping under the stars in the Canadian wilderness is an experience unto itself, and one not to be missed. So what are the benefits of taking a tour of the national parks and protected spaces of the Canadian Rockies using Bindlestiff Tours? First and most obvious
