An Extraordinary Gift Idea For Someone Special In Your Life

If you are having difficulty deciding on the right gift for that special someone...

Then why not a gift certificate for a travel experience of a lifetime?

Dear fellow Traveler,

My name is Hugh Tafel, president of Canadian Mountain Experience; the leading luxury tour company for active travelers to Canada's West.

It has been ten years since I founded this company, assisting discerning skiers, golfers and lovers of mountain regions. I have been blessed in meeting and assisting thousands of grateful travelers in that time.

For many, their trip was a lifetime experience. They all connected to the wilderness, to the earth in an almost religious way here that left most speechless and uplifted. The journey to our mountains was truly a liberating experience, one that they would never forget.

Still it is not easy to convince someone of this.

Even your closest friends.

So I have created gift certificates that you can give to someone you know who would appreciate journeying to such a place.

An inaccessible wilderness only a century ago

It's hard to believe that the sharp, craggy peaks of Canada's Rocky Mountains were only opened up to the world a short 120 years ago.

The dream of connecting a young country did that. With a railroad from coast to coast. The largest and most expensive engineering project of its time.

This railroad opened up Canada's prairies to optimistic immigrant farmers and; so our history books say, kept the province of British Columbia in the fold of Canada.

Once completed, this route was soon popularized as the best way to travel to the orient. The fact that the western part contained no less than the equivalent of 10 Switzerlands; with unnamed mountain peaks, glaciers and mighty rivers was no less a lure.

Thousands of square miles of protected wildness

Most of Western Canada remains as the first settlers viewed it: raw, untamed, unspoiled, natural.

The big difference is how accessible it can be and how comfortable to visit.

You can cross from prairie to ocean via modern highway or 5-star rail. Stay in some of the world's most luxurious hotels and be pampered in world-class spas.

You will expect to see wildlife everywhere, from bear to big-horn sheep and everything in between.

You can traverse the mountains in a few days or tarry awhile, exploring it on foot, bike or ski.

Whichever way you choose, you will feel the presence of the Almighty. You will feel your soul cleansed and you will definitely come away feeling connected to this planet upon which we live.

 A gift to be cherished and remembered

Much that goes on in our present world appears crass and superficial. We purchase things on impulse to show off and impress. Rarely does the item purchased move us spiritually.

And that goes for the many gifts we buy. They don't really say "thank-you" or "I love you" in quite the way we wished they did.

Imagine, however, if you could give a gift that was remembered fondly for years to come; was talked about every time you met.  The kind of gift that someone special in your life, your spouse, your parents, your children, or a key employee; would think highly of you every time they thought of you, met you, conversed with you.

That would be a powerful gift wouldn't it?

Let me suggest to you, that you give the gift of travel to Western Canada.

Since travel can be an expensive undertaking, may I further suggest that you gift a portion of a potential trip. There are few who would expect a gift worth thousands of dollars, but they would surely appreciate one of a few hundred.

To make it even easier for you, in celebration of my company's 10th anniversary, I am giving you the opportunity to save money on your travel gift.
