[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family sounds similar to yours and we are not campers.  We did a family tour through the Canadian Rockies and it is by far one of the our favorite trips.  The kids talk about it and reference it all the time.  It has become a vacation by which others are compared!  [/quote]

What was your itinerary? Any hotels you loved? thanks!![/quote]

This was a group tour with Tauck and was one of the best trips we have ever taken as a family.  It was about $5000 per person about 2 years ago and the trip was 8 days.  We had a guide who was with us the entire time and traveled by bus.

We started in Calgary and went to Lake Louise.  We stayed in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise which was luxurious and absolutely gorgeous, right on the lake.  We had a guided tour but then also time to take advantage of the things that the hotel had to offer.  From there we drove up to Jasper with stops along the way.  We saw a ton of wildlife including bears and caribou.  In Jasper we stayed at the Jasper Lodge.  This was honestly probably a favorite.  Unfortunately, right after our trip were the wildfires.  I know that the lodge is just fine but the city of Jasper sustained heavy damage.  So sad.  they literally were just remarking that it had been quite some time since they'd had wildfires.  The lodge was incredible with so much to do.  Lots of free time and family time.  After Jasper, we headed to Banff with a stop at a glacier, ice field.  Lots of fun and broke up the trip.  We got to Banff and stayed in the Fairmont there.  This was absolute bucket list for me and as beautiful and amazing as I had hoped.  Every day had some touring and some free time to just explore.

I really can't recommend this trip enough.  Just the scenery was breathtaking but there was also so much to do and see.  Because we did the tour we didn't have to worry about park passes, entry lines etc.  [/quote]
