The Rocky Mountains stretch more than 3,000 miles to form one of the most impressive mountain ranges in the world. The Canadian Rockies are known for their majestic beauty and national parks. The many hiking trails make Canadian Rockies vacations perfect for those who seek challenge in their getaway destinations. Jasper National Park, in particular, has memorable hiking trails that include trails for beginners and those designed for advanced hikers. Hiking is a great way to view the wildlife of Jasper National Park, such as caribou, mountain goats, grizzly bears, and hoary marmots. Of course, there are many ways to enjoy the splendor of the Rockies, but a Rocky Mountaineer vacation is one of the most comfortable. These luxury trains allow vacationers to travel in style through the heart of the ancient mountain range. A train trip in Canada is a great option for those who want to hit the highlights of the Canadian Rockies in a relaxed setting. The only drawback is that visitors have less time to become intimate with the setting. Those who stay in the mountains can investigate hot springs, check out the Columbia Icefield, or seclude themselves in an isolated mountain pass. Either way that visitors choose to view the Rockies, they are bound to enjoy a personal look at the primeval grandeur of the mountain range while on one of the many Canada vacation packages offered.
