CANADA ROCKIES ALTERNATIVES DESTINATIONS N
othing beats the Rocky Mountains – for their
magnificent scenery, diverse wildlife, exciting adventures and all-round, unadulterated beauty, this western Canadian region deserves its spot at the top of most people’s must-see lists. But what if visitors are missing out on other adventures in their rush to the Rockies? Canada is not only enormous, it’s packed full of incredible experiences that are just as worthy of exploration. The rugged coastlines of Atlantic Canada, the natural beauty of the national parks and the towering peaks of its mountain ranges are every bit as impressive. Whether they’re repeat visitors in search of something different,
or first-timers who want to avoid the crowds, check out our alternatives to ever-popular Rocky Mountains escapes.

recommend Gros Morne National Park as an alternative to the popular parks in the Rockies. The fjords and wildlife here are simply stunning and very similar to those found in the Rockies. “Clients can hike the park’s
trails to the summit of Gros Morne Mountain to admire the
sweeping views of the desert- like Tablelands, or enjoy peaceful fishing villages surrounded by towering cliffs and steep fjords.” Like the Rockies, Gros Morne is a Unesco World Heritage Site, with wildlife including Arctic hares, black bears, lynxes and caribous. Book it: Premier Holidays’ 19-night Tides and Parks of Atlantic Canada self-drive tour costs from £2,899, including accommodation, flights and car hire. Agents can earn up to £150 on Canada bookings.
