Impressive hikes amongst the lakes, glaciers and peaks of British Columbia and Alberta
The beautiful Canadian Rockies represent a small but magnificent part of the vast chain that runs virtually the whole length of the North American continent.
Many of the scenic areas have been designated national parks and this trip visits the most famous and spectacular of these. The extensive network of trails through these parks allows quick, if sometimes strenuous, access into some superb high mountain and glacial scenery, with the added bonus of a multitude of alpine flowers as well as wildlife such as eagles, deer, moose and bear.
What makes this trip responsible?
When hiking we stick to marked trails to reduce our impact on the local environment and we camp in the designated grounds regulated by each National Park. At campgrounds (and throughout the trip) we employ a ‘leave no trace’ policy in regard to litter - everything taken into the park is taken out to preserve the local environment. We recycle wherever possible on the trip and all leaders are trained in responsible tourism to enable them to follow best practice and enforce our ‘leave no trace’ policy. Local shuttle services are used for transportation within the parks. The maximum group size on this trip is restricted to 12 in order to reduce the environmental impacts of visiting remote areas.
