Is this trip right for you?
This is a hiking trip that features a balance of moderate to challenging hikes that highlight the beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Your daily hiking distance ranges from 3.2km (2 miles) to 11 km (6.6 miles), some with significant elevation gain. Please check the special information within the daily itinerary for exact distances and elevation gain/loss. A good level of fitness and appropriate hiking gear is a must.
This is a camping trip where you are expected to pitch in with setting up tents and helping out with cooking and washing up.
It is not uncommon for snow to remain on the ground in higher elevations until the end of May and even during early June. The presence of snow may impact certain activities such as scenic gondolas or mountain hikes. Your trip leader will have a range of alternative activities/hikes to do if a planned activity is impacted by snow.
This trip starts on Day 1 as early as 7.30am and finishes on day 8 upon arrival to Calgary at around 4pm. You may wish to pre-book additional nights in Calgary at the start and end of the trip.
In 2024, Jasper experienced a significant wildfire, but much of its beauty remains untouched. As we return in 2025, you’ll witness firsthand how nature is beginning its recovery after this important and natural process that is vital to the region's ecology. This is also a crucial time to support local businesses as they rebuild from the fire’s impact. Join us in experiencing Jasper’s resilience and natural beauty while helping the community recover.

Incredible trip! 8 days of hiking and camping in the great Canadian rockies was just what was needed this summer. Beautiful hikes, lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, vistas and super guides. Our group was fun, flexible and kind--truly a great vacation. Unforgettable. Campsites were nice--beautiful mountains and trees surround your tents and food was delicious too. The meals well exceeded my expectations! Thanks much to Louis and Tristan for the excellent guiding, cooking, and planning.

We had an amazing trip with Ali and MC - they were a perfect pair. Beautiful and challenging but not-too-difficult hikes, delicious meals, animal sighting, and great campsites.

Words cannot describe how beautifully well this trip was put together but the main reason our trip was so perfect was our guides, Flo and Jules. They made everything so fun and organized everything so well. The meals they made made me feel like I was in a 5 star restaurant. They accommodated my allergies with every meal. I went in with no expectations and my expectations were blown out of the water. This was my first solo travel experience abroad and it couldn’t have went more perfect. I now have friends across the world and everyone got along so well. ❤️❤️❤️🥺 10/10 recommend Thankyou Jules and Flo, yall are ROCKSTARS!!!!

The trip the the Canadian Rockies was excellent. We had rain and cold but always had a great time. The group that came together to experience the wonders of the Canadian Rockies was so much fun and welcoming. Our guides were fun, organized and kept us going. Be ready to help with chores. Some of our most enjoyable times was making chores into games. Especially washing dishes. So much laughter. I loved this trip.

I have been on a number of trips, but this is one that really stood out. The scenery was breathtaking. Our guides (Benji and Louis) were amazing, and we shared the experience with a great group of likeminded people who quickly felt like friends.

The hikes can be challenging but doable even for me who turned 58 during this trip. Sceneries were breathtaking, camp sites were safe and clean. Food was very sufficient and delicious. Nevertheless, the trip would not be the same if our leaders Hubert and Marie Christine were less than fantastic. You will need to contribute to clean up and set up your tents, etc. However, your 'chores' turn to be a joy as they are expressway to quick friendship with your tour leaders and your fellow travelers. Please do not underestimate the hikes though, you do need to be reasonably fit and have a good pair of hiking shoes and a warm sleeping bag ;:) !!

This trip was amazing. Our guides (Hubert and MC) were fantastic. They made sure everyone was taken care of and included to their own level of comfort. My camping skills were rusty, but the group made that easy to overcome. The trip was very well paced, and there was a nice variety of hikes.
