About this trip
Thirteen days of hiking through the Canadian Rockies, camping along the way and covering serious ground by road as you move between trailheads. Expect mountain paths, glacier views and forest trails, with wildlife sightings and clear-sky stargazing woven in.
You'll travel with a small group in a van, which means long drives and close quarters, but it's also how the group gets to know each other fast. This is a hands-on trip — you help with camp chores like cooking and washing up rather than being looked after.
It works well as an introduction to the Rockies for people who want to be active and don't mind a bit of graft alongside the scenery.
What you'll do
- Hike trails that wind around mountains and through inland rainforest
- Take in views of glaciers and snow-covered peaks
- Camp out under the stars with the group
- Spot wildlife along the way
- Travel by van between trailheads and camps
- Help with food prep and camp duties as part of the team
- Participatory trip — you pitch in with cooking and washing up at camp
- Optional food kitty of around CAD20 a day covers group meals, or you can opt out and sort your own food
- Moderate fitness recommended, as the hikes are the main event
Worth it if you want genuine local knowledge and a tight group vibe. Think twice if you're fussy about campsite standards.
- Guide goes above and beyond—learns stuff on the spot, takes smaller groups to hidden spots, ensures everyone's included.
- Small group setup and strong group chemistry mean real friendships, not just tourists passing through together.
- Some campsites are genuinely disappointing, though the rest of trip compensates—pack low expectations for accommodation.
- Mix of activity levels available; guides actively help those struggling with steep hikes, so no one gets left behind.
