The Canadian Rockies
provide some of the most spectacular scenery in North America.
This trip features nine alpine day hikes ranging in length from 6 to 12
miles. During these hikes or on the way from and to our
rendezvous point in Calgary, Alberta, Canada you will visit Banff,
Jasper, Lake Louise, Columbia Icefield/ Athabasca Glacier, the
Icefields Parkway, a tea house at 6800 feet and Miette Hot Springs for
an evening soak. The jagged peaks with their snow, ice and
glaciers will be your daily backdrop for this trip. It will be
early fall when the elk are in rut and foliage is beginning to
change. We may even get an early snowfall. Optional rest
days are available. Our accommodations will be double occupancy
in Calgary, Lake Louise, Jasper and at a backcountry lodge (Shadow Lake
Lodge), 9 miles from the nearest road. Meals will be taken where
we stay or at restaurants in the towns. This trip mixes strenuous daily activity with comfortable accommodations and excellent meals.
