GEOLOGICAL FIELD TRIP TO CANADIAN ROCKIES
Western Canada offers some of the most amazing views you will ever experience. By the end of September, there will be snow on the mountain tops, and the fall tree colours will be spectacular.
On September 29, you have an exclusive opportunity to travel from Calgary and tour the Canadian Rockies with an experienced geologist who will point out various structures and locations of interest to scientists and the general public, alike. There is limited space on the coach, so do not delay in booking a seat.
The tour will depart Hotel Arts at 7:00 am on September 29, and make its way to the Columbia Icefields. After a visit there, we'll head to Banff. The tour will arrive back at Hotel Arts late evening the same day. Breakfast to go and lunch will be provided.
