Backpacking in the Canadian Rockies

We are a wilderness adventure company in the Canadian Rocky Mountains that specializes in hiking and backpacking to spectacular wilderness areas, with so much more. Our secluded trips are environmentally sensitive and provide a unique opportunity to enjoy great scenery and abundant wildlife, while discovering and learning about the plants and animals. Part of the uniqueness of our trips is our nature awareness activities based on Canadian First Nations aboriginal teachings and seeing the wilderness through native eyes. Guests will learn to identify common plants and tracks, taste some of the delicious vegetation, learn some wilderness skills, or in some programs even take part in powerful and authentic native ceremonies with a native elder.

We work on secluded trails, as well as National Park trails, with every trip offering spectacular views. Other activities to enjoy with us include rafting, mountain biking, and fishing.

Our programs are based out of the remote wilderness lodge, which is located in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains just south of Banff, Lake Louise, and Banff National Park. Our packages are designed to offer individuals and small groups a safe, unique, and enjoyable wilderness experience, with a bonus of educational and cultural learning. Meals, accommodations, activity costs, certified guides, and transportation from Banff are all included in our prices as noted.

You will have the opportunity to see green forests and mountain peaks as far as the eye can see; to hear the sounds of the natural world, like a raging waterfall, trickling stream, or the sound of silence; to smell the natural growth cycles and thousands of wildflowers in the sub-alpine meadows; and taste clean, crystal clear water. Our many exciting day hikes and excursions on this trip will provide adventure at each turn, this is a refreshing opportunity to actually live in the high alpine for a few days, to learn , explore and discover in this incredible mountain play ground.
