What to expect

Your adventure begins with convenient pickup in Banff, Canmore or Harvie Heights. After a scenic drive into the heart of the Rockies, you'll set off on a guided hike along one of three breathtaking trails—each chosen for its beauty, geological features, and immersive wilderness experience. Led by a certified, knowledgeable guide, your group will explore pristine mountain landscapes filled with waterfalls, glaciers, alpine meadows & towering peaks. Along the way, you’ll learn about the region’s unique history, wildlife, and ecology, while soaking in panoramic views and capturing unforgettable photos. Whether you're walking alongside a glacial lake, through a regenerating forest, or into a quiet alpine basin, every moment is designed to connect you with the natural world. Expect a moderate hike, lasting several hours, with plenty of stops for storytelling, photos, and simply enjoying the surroundings. This is more than a hike—it’s a fully guided experience in some of the most iconic and inspiring terrain in the Canadian Rockies. With small group sizes, stress-free transportation, and all park fees included, it’s the perfect way to explore the outdoors with confidence and curiosity.
