About this trip
Eight days of camping and hiking through the Canadian Rockies, moving between national parks and sleeping under canvas rather than in hotels.
Days are built around walking — through old-growth forest, past alpine lakes, and up to viewpoints that make the climb worth it — with the Crypt Lake and Iceline trails as the standout routes.
This is one for people who want to be outside most of the day and don't mind roughing it a bit at night in exchange for the scenery.
What you'll do
- Hike the Crypt Lake trail
- Walk the Iceline trail in Yoho National Park
- Pass alpine lakes on foot through the Rockies
- Camp out under the stars for the duration of the trip
- Trek through stretches of old-growth forest
- Camping-based trip, not hotels — expect to be outdoors overnight as well as by day
- Built around daily hiking, so a reasonable level of fitness helps
- Suits families and groups who want an active, outdoors-focused pace
Worth it if you're fit enough for proper hiking and want genuine mountain scenery. Think twice if you need gourmet meals or prefer comfort camping.
- Guide Fred/Frederick was exceptional: knowledgeable, kept group morale high, cooked well beyond basic camp fare.
- Hiking difficulty pitched just right with genuinely spectacular views that justify the early starts and physical effort.
- Food quality inconsistent—breakfasts and dinners lacked variety; bring your own granola and protein supplements.
- Group dynamics matter hugely here; you'll be camping together for eight days with shared tasks and close quarters.
