  Western Canada Highlights
  Plan to arrive in Vancouver before 5 PM to get settled. Start your trip with the Capilano Suspension Bridge early in the morning before the crowds arrive. You'll get the best views of Vancouver's skyline from Stanley Park's seawall right around sunset. The Rocky Mountaineer train journey fills days 3-4. Pack plenty of layers since temperatures in the dome cars can change quickly. You'll reach Lake Louise by late afternoon and check into the Chateau. If you're into photography, head to the lake around 6 AM in summer for perfectly calm water and amazing reflections. Spend days 6-9 exploring Banff and Jasper National Parks. A recent visitor to the Athabasca Glacier Ice Explorer noted: "Dress extremely warm - it's much colder on the glacier than you'd expect, even in summer. The grippy boots they provide are essential." British Columbia's highlights take up days 10-14, including stops in Whistler and Victoria. Take the ferry to Victoria and watch for whales from the port side. Visit Butchart Gardens in late afternoon when most tourists have left and the lighting is perfect for photos.
- Days 15-23
  Eastern Canada
  Your next stops include Ottawa, Quebec City, Montreal, and Toronto. Bring good walking shoes for Quebec City's steep cobblestone streets. One visitor shared some helpful advice: "The funicular up to Chateau Frontenac saves your legs, but the walk down through the old town reveals hidden gems you'd miss otherwise." Montreal's underground city provides great shelter in bad weather. When taking the Thousand Islands cruise from Kingston to Toronto, grab a spot on the upper deck but bring something warm to wear.
- Days 24-29
  US East Coast
  The trip wraps up with visits to Lancaster's Amish country, Washington D.C., and New York City. A past visitor recommended: "Visit the Lincoln Memorial at dusk - the lighting is spectacular and crowds are thinner." In New York, skip breakfast before the Lower East Side food tour so you can fully enjoy all the local delis.

  Vancouver
  Begin your journey in Vancouver. Take time to explore Stanley Park and Granville Island Market. A local tip: "Visit Capilano Bridge before 9 AM to avoid tour bus crowds and get the best photos." The suspension bridge stands 70 meters high so wear shoes with good grip.

  Board the Rocky Mountaineer train to Lake Louise. The journey takes 2 days. Book a GoldLeaf car and pick a seat on the left side when heading east for optimal mountain views.
