Mr Mothersole - Travelled to Alberta & BC"We will certainly recommend Frontier Canada"
We will certainly recommend Frontier Canada to others – thank you for organising a very successful trip in which all elements liked together seamlessly. We had a wonderful time and we have returned home with some fantastic memories of Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies. I would certainly recommend this fly-drive trip to others, possibly with an extra night at the Alpine Meadows Resort near Clearwater, for a relaxing ‘wildlife-watching’ day by their lake!
