Rockies Hiking & Camping Tour

Twelve days of hiking and camping through four of the Canadian Rockies' national parks — Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay — with a local guide leading the way. The focus is on getting off the road and onto the trails, since only a fraction of Banff is actually accessible by car.

You'll still hit the well-known viewpoints, but most of your time is spent working through a proper hiking itinerary rather than sitting on a bus between photo stops. Camping is central to the experience, and meals are built around local produce, meat and seafood sourced from farms near each stop.

It's designed as a small group trip open to solo travellers, pairs and friends, with hikes pitched for a mix of abilities. Days balance hard walking with downtime, including a soak in hot springs, and there's room to add on rafting, horseback riding or mountain biking if you want more.

What you'll do
