10 Days Total, 8 Riding Days
Trip OverviewThis 10-day Western Canada in a Week plus Banff holiday combines the Coast Mountains, the arid interior, the pristine lakes of the Kootenays, the popular tourist destination Banff, Alberta and the majestic Canadian Rockies into a ride with a huge diversity of scenery. The average daily ride is 360 km and the stopovers offer both short and full-day rides.
After a relaxing evening in Whistler, we head north up and over the Coast Mountains. Once we reach the Fraser River, we start heading northeast past Cache Creek. The afternoon ride chases the arid banks of the Thompson River towards Kamloops.
Our first evening is spent at the luxurious Delta Sun Peaks Hotel nestled in the mountains. The next day we ride some wonderful twisty and deserted roads through the rolling hills and pastures of the southern Shuswap region. Our destination is the hospitality of Revelstoke’s Regent Inn.
Revelstoke divides the Monashee and Selkirk Mountain ranges and as the route continues east, we ride right through Glacier Park and summit at Rogers Pass on our way to the world famous Lake Louise.
At this point we divert from the usual route on our way to Banff, Alberta to stop for the night. Banff is a hot spot for tourists visiting the Western Canadian Rockies and provides numerous activities, sight-seeing, shopping, nightlife, and is home to the famous Banff Springs Hotel. We’ll spend a leisurely morning in Banff enjoying breakfast and some more shopping/sightseeing before we head back out on the bikes for a short day’s ride to Fairmont Hotsprings.
Our next destination is the pure Canadian Rocky Mountains and an evening soaking in the Fairmont Hotsprings. Wildlife sightings are numerous and the scenery brings to life the thousands of postcards shot in this region.
From Fairmont, we head south towards the fertile Creston agricultural region. After sampling the fresh local cuisine, we roll on to Kootenay Lake and several hours of riding along its meandering banks. We’ll finish the day with a 30-minute ferry ride across the lake to the town of Nelson where we’ll spend the next two nights at the water’s edge.
The picturesque town of Nelson sits in the heart of the Kootenays and is famous for its friendly hospitality and winding roads — ideal for motorcycling! Nelson also offers our guests a great place to enjoy a hike, a bicycle ride or a dip in the lake.
Our return west brings us to one of Canada’s most arid regions, with a true desert located only 25 km to the south. Luckily, while in Kelowna we’ll be staying at the Manteo Resort on Lake Okanagan. Hot, sunny weather brings lots of fun.
Our last day’s ride takes us back along the mighty Fraser River before a series of mountain passes, most noteably the Duffey Lake road, delivers us back to Whistler for our final dinner.

"Glowing embers pierced the sky as the last of the sun’s rays turned the western edge of the Rocky Mountains into liquid gold. The sun was setting as we settled back into the hot springs’ pool. Stars popping into the gathering blue of the clear sky. Sound too good to be true? It was in the middle of a weeklong motorcycle tour with riders from all over the world, winding through the lakes and mountain ranges of Canada’s western provinces, and my rainsuit was still dry.”
Andy Saunders, Rider Magazine Feb. 1999
