The Canadian Rockies are a jewel that a lot of people in the United States don’t even know about. Picture unbelievable mountains, tons of wildlife and quaint towns that aren’t constantly overflowing with tourists and you’ll have an idea of what parts of British Columbia and Alberta are like. Through in some world class skiing and winter outdoor activities and you can imagine why I am so bullish on the place.

One spot that is a must-see for anyone traveling in the Canadian Rockies is Lake Louise. Situated about an hour away from Banff, the crystal clear aquamarine lake is surrounded by mountains and breathtaking scenery. Of course, the lake is frozen during the winter months and it often doesn’t thaw until June, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful.

Lake Louise also happens to be located right near a ski resort and one of those quaint towns with activities for the whole family. This winter if you stay at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for three nights, you’ll get a fourth night for free. With the US dollar not as strong against the Canadian dollar as it used to be, every bit of savings can help.

The word is starting to get out that Whistler is one of the best ski resorts in North America. Located north of the wonderful city of Vancouver, Whistler will be the center of the sports universe when it hosts the downhill races at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

It rains a lot in the Pacific Northwest and as we like to say around here, rain in the valleys means snow in the mountains. Whistler gets plenty of the white stuff each winter and with a bevy of slopes it offers unparalleled skiing opportunities.

Alaska Airlines is running some excellent promotions on ski packages at Whistler this winter. The earlier you book, the more you save.

Vancouver, British Columbia is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. With tall, sleek buildings overlooking both the sea and stunning mountains, the city is one of a kind. Vancouver is also one of the most diverse cities in North America, which means that it has some of the finest ethnic restaurants on this planet. My personal favorite is an amazing Indian joint called Vij’s. You’ll want to show up early because they don’t take reservations and there is always a line. It is well worth the wait.

Cathay Pacific, one of the best airlines around, is offering up flights from New York to Vancouver starting at just US$317. If you have never been to Vancouver or if you want to see the Pacific Northwest at its finest, hop on this deal today.

By now, you have probably heard that Canada invented the maple leaf. It is true. Just look at the Canadian flag.

The cool thing about leaves is that they change colors in the autumn and that even applies to trees north of the border. If you have never been to Canada in the fall, you haven’t really lived life. Beautiful country, friendly people and lots of opportunities to commune with trees. The city life ain’t so bad either. Ideally, you’ll mix in a little bit of both.

United Airlines is making pretty darn easy for you to experience Canada. For about the price of some maple syrup, you can fly from the United States to Canada for a long weekend or for some serious, hardcore leaf peeping. Go ahead and treat yourself to a trip. The leaves will be lonely if they don’t see you.

Cheap Flights to Quebec City

Small cafés and cosy restaurants, charming boutiques, lively terraces, elegant squares, theatres and museums, street buskers and mimes … all contribute to the charm and ambience of historic Old Quebec, cradle of French civilisation in North America and still predominantly European in spirit.

Perched on top of Cap Diamant, overlooking the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City was first settled by the French in 1608, named from a native Algonquin word meaning ’where the river narrows’.
