Overview – Bike Glacier, Banff & Jasper National Parks

You can see the full tour plan at Cycling Escapes. They call it an Epic Tour which includes 2 countries and 4 National Parks from Glacier National Park in Montana, across the border into Alberta Canada, and then into Waterton Lakes National Park. From there we have a day of cycling bookended by van shuttles to get us to the last half of our trip. Banff National Park, the Icefields Parkway, and Jasper National Park conclude our cycling. The daily description and maps below can give you some idea of the tour. We did a lot of training to prepare.
