Alpine discovery hikes

One of the best ways to experience the mountain terrain is on foot. Several adventure companies offer multi-day trips into the heart of Canada's incredible Rocky Mountains.

Many people are tired of being confined by restrictive package deals that don't really offer choice and options. We believe that many visitors to the Rockies want to experience a variety of different things, in a variety of ways.

Some of the more unique six or seven night itineraries are led by two guides, and each gives guests the flexibility of making choices each day. Options include joining a guided hike to explore the Rockies, or spending the day visiting historic or cultural sites to discover what makes the area special. It's a perfect arrangement for people who travel together, but have different interests.

The operators place great importance on properly exploring natural wilderness areas. Highly trained naturalist guides ensure adventurous, but safe, treks that will be fondly remembered for a lifetime. Guests are fed wonderful food, housed in great accommodation, and exposed to a wealth of knowledge from highly experienced guides who help them discover things not normally noticed. And everyone benefits from small groups that have minimal impact on the environment.

Guests find themselves on a positive journey of self-discovery, and that's what vacations are supposed to be like.
