Hi Jani82

We did the Canada trip in May 2011, We flew from Brisbane to Vancouver and took the Rocky Mountaineer to Kamloops,Baniff, Lake Louise and the Athabasca Glacier. We then went to Jasper,Sun Peaks, Whistler and Victoria.

Winter had not completly gone and the snow peaks in the Rockies were wonderful.
Lake Louise was still frozen but the weather was good [no rain]
We saw Bears with their cubs on the side of the road and other wildlife as it should have been Spring.
The accomadation was first rate and the food was excellent.
We went on the Holland America cruise ship to Alaska and saw the carving of the ice at Glacier Bay.
The cruise was a welcome rest as we could fully unpack for the seven days.
We didn't do any First Nation tours but there were enough to fill in the trip.

I would highly recommend the trip to Canada and would go again if there wasn't so many other places to visit.
