“ Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”

- Richard M. Nixon

Our Hiking Trip Logs!

There's a sense of wonder as you hike in the Canadian Rockies. Many hiking trails have a historical value to them in one way or another. You can spot old abandoned buildings or materials on some trails from decades ago. This is especially true around the Banff and Canmore area where many mining towns flourished in the early 1900's.

On top of having a little mystery on some of the history of these hiking trails, the views and sights that they offer are gorgeous as well. Although hiking trails may not lead you to the summit of a peak like scrambling, what each trail has to offer (glaciers, waterfalls, historical sights) are more than worth your time checking out.

Our list includes a variety of hikes including short, easy trails to long, difficult ones. We even have a hiking trail where you can treat yourself to the most delicious piece of homemade chocolate cake you have ever,or at least we have ever tasted (check out Plain of Six Glaciers Hiking Trail)! What better way to reward yourself at the end of a trip...unless of course you'd prefer a nice cold, refreshing beer and a nice dip in the hot springs instead (check out our Sulphur Mountain trip log).
