About this trip
Two weeks in the Canadian Rockies split between hiking and camping in Banff and Jasper, then a multi-day canoe trip into the northern Alberta wilderness.
The first week is spent on trails your guide knows well, camping out and covering ground in Banff and Jasper National Parks. After some canoe training, you head out onto the Athabasca River for four days of paddling deeper into the wilderness.
It is a trip built around being outdoors and active — a mix of proper hiking days and a genuine river expedition, rather than a sightseeing tour with stops along the way.
