Trip Informations
Over four million people visit Rocky Mountain National Park each year – and on this trip, you’ll get to call it home. Get to know the ins and the outs of the park on this five-day camping adventure, hiking by day and sleeping under the stars by night. See Andrews Glacier up close, visit an abandoned mining town and summit Mount Ida, taking time to savour the views over included picnic lunches and swapping stories over campfire dinners. With the wonders of the park waiting on your front doorstep each morning, this will be one all-encompassing adventure.
Why you’ll love this trip
Summit all 12,000+ feet of Mount Ida and be rewarded with sweeping views as you hike along the Continental Divide.
Pass through the park’s goldrush history on a visit to the site of Lulu City, a mining town that was abandoned in 1885.
Start with a flourish as you make your way to Andrews Glacier via Andrews Tarn, The Loch and the thundering Alberta Falls.
Pause for included picnic lunches on each of the trip’s hikes and end each day with a campfire dinner with your fellow travellers.
Sleep under the stars on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park while enjoying the communal experience that comes with camping.
