As one of the oldest (established in 1886) National Parks in Canada, Glacier National Park features mighty mountainpeaks and over 420 glaciers. You will pass through Roger’s pass wich was the connection passage for the Canadian Pacific Railway through the Selkirk Mountainrange. You can hike the Great Glacier trail (about 4 hours back and forth) to the Illecillewaet Glacier, have lunch at the impressive Slide Path picnic area where the view stretches for 1500 meters from valley floor to the Selkirk Moutain gates, or follow one of the other trails here. The Rogers Pass Discovery Centre is where you can find all needed information for your stay here.

Due to the moist, moderate climate this area is home to an abundance of flora and fauna. It is home to black and grizzly bears, wolverines, cougars, mountain goats, white tail deer, Caribou and Lynx. You should keep an eye out when walking the trails here. In winter this area gets a whopping 20 meters of snow!

You can stay in one of the 4 backcountry huts or do some front- or backcountry or winter camping. A great help to make the most of your stay are the pre-determined itineraries available.
