THE ITINERARY Sunday Evening Arrive in Calgary by 6:00 pm at The Pointe Inn where we will spend the night. It is conveniently located near the Calgary Airport. At dinner, you will have a chance to meet everyone on the trip and discuss the up coming adventure. Monday After breakfast in Calgary, we will head to Aquabatics to pick up any last minute gear (skull caps anyone!). From there we will drive to the Kananaskis River (1 hr). Canoe Meadows is a great spot between runs for lunch. After paddling we will drive to Lake Louise, where there are a variety of short hikes to enjoy the Canadian Rockies. Some possibilities are Johnson Falls, the drop that holds the distinction of being the highest ever paddled, or Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks for some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the world. The day will end with a hearty meal at the Lake Louise Hostel where we will also spend the night. Tuesday Breakfast at the Hostel is an excellent start to our day (wicked Burritos). From there we will cross the continental divide into British Columbia (1 hr). There, we will paddle the Kicking Horse River, having a riverside lunch. At the take out, we will dine on the deck of the Mad Trapper Pub by the side of the river. That evening we will drive to Revelstoke (2 hrs) for the night. Our route takes us over spectacular Rogers Pass in the Selkirk Mountains. Wednesday After eating breakfast in Revelstoke we will drive to the Clearwater River (3 hrs). We will spend the day paddling the river playing its numerous waves. Dinner will be in Clearwater, followed by a stay at the Wells Grey Inn. Thursday Another great day on the Clearwater will give everybody a chance to surf that dream wave again, or catch that "on the fly wave" that go away the day before. From Clearwater we will drive over the Coast Mountains to Squamish (4.5 hrs), where we will spend the night at Sunwolf Adventures cabins near the Elaho River. Dinner will be at the famous Howe Sound Inn and Brew Pub. Friday We will catch an early ferry to the Sunshine Coast. After breakfast at Molly's Reach (that's right, the one from Beachcombers) we'll drive to Egmont. (1.5 hrs). From there we will paddle to "the Skook", having lunch at the wave. At the end of the day we will catch a water taxi back to Egmont, a heavenly touch, saving your muscles for round two the next day. We will have dinner and spend the night at the Egmont Marina. Saturday Our final day will be spent back at Skookumchuck. We will once again catch a taxi back to Egmont. That evening we will have our last dinner in Egmont, and spend another night at the marina. Sunday We will catch the ferry back to Vancouver and the airport for afternoon flights to finish up the trip.
