I have highlighted stops we will visit, but your trip is fully customizable. Want to see something specific or go off the beaten path? We'll make it happen. All main stops are on short, accessible trails just minutes from the highway, with options for more adventurous hikes if your group is up for it. The tour typically runs 3–4 hours, but I'm not watching the clock, if we're having a great time, we keep going. This isn't a packed bus with a fixed schedule. It's your trip, your pace. A round-trip option starting and ending in Vancouver is also available.
