Experience a world of remote mountain peeks, pristine river crossings, and spectacular valleys on our full day 4 x 4 Jeep safari adventure. Escape the crowds, go off the beaten path, and experience a remote wilderness setting. We explore the virtually unknown back end of Banff National Park. Your professional driver/guide will show you the remote Ghost Valley, set to a visually wild mountain backdrop. You will experience breathtaking views, picturesque stops, hidden waterfalls, the chance to undertake short walks and or a hike as well as wildlife viewing, (including bears, bighorn sheep and elk). Lunch is included in this full day adventure.
We run both summer & Winter. Winter snow and ice both add to the visual spectacular nature of the ghost as well as the adventure. For winter departures be prepared to potentially assist your guide with shovelling thru snow drifts
