The weather is variable in the Canadian Rockies and therefore we need to be ready for rain or shine. For day hikes please bring lunch, at least one litre of water, and a rain jacket. It is best to wear hiking pants; please leave jeans and cotton items home. Those going on a backpacking trip will be provided with a detailed gear list.

Our maximum numbers are 12 for a day hike and 8 for a backpacking trip. However, we typically limit the numbers to 8 for day hikes and 6 for backpacking trips.

We recognize that everyone is coming with their own unique experiences and fitness level and I feel confident everyone will enjoy the trip! To ensure maximum enjoyment a general fitness allowing you to hike 6km with a small day pack for the day trips, or 10km with a 30lbs pack for the backpacking adventures.

We are out to have fun and explore the outdoors, not to put our head down and push ourselves into the ground. Every group has to have one person who is the slowest, but we keep the group together. If you are wanting an experience where the focus is to challenge yourself physically, sign up for our fitness building series or inquire about a private trip. We are happy to accommodate your needs and desires.

We love spending time outside in all the elements. The trip will go on, unless it is unsafe to do so.
