Saddles & Summits brings together 2 iconic Western Canada experiences: the energy and tradition of the Calgary Stampede and an unforgettable motorcycle journey through the Canadian Rockies and British Columbia.

Your adventure begins with a full day to experience the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. From there, we head to Canmore where you will meet your motorcycle, get acquainted and prepare for the journey ahead.

Then the riding begins.

We will travel south through the Rockies before winding into British Columbia along spectacular mountain highways. Ride the curves of Highway 3A and a ferry crossing to Ainsworth Hot Springs, journey through the Kootenays to Revelstoke and continue north to the waterfalls and wilderness of Wells Gray Provincial Park.

From Wells Gray the route turns toward the Rockies once again, passing magnificent Mount Robson on the way to Jasper. A rest day in Jasper gives you time to slow down and experience this remarkable mountain town before one final unforgettable ride south along the legendary Icefields Parkway to Canmore.

With dramatic mountain passes, sweeping valleys, winding roads and some of Western Canada’s most iconic landscapes, Saddles & Summits combines world class riding with western culture, history and unforgettable places.

Choice of motorcycle, premium accommodations, guide, dedicated support vehicle, motorcycle fuel, National Park fees & entrance fees and airport transfers are included. All you need to do is arrive ready to ride. We take care of the rest.
