Snowshoe Trips in the Canadian Rockies

What to Expect: You will meet your guide outside Stone’s Throw Café. Your guide will give the group a few options on places we can go based on the group’s interest and skills, and the weather and snow conditions. If there is no snow, then we will winter hike. Regardless of the equipment, it ends up always being an amazing experience. You will then need to drive to the trail in your own vehicle. Expect a driving time of 10 – 15 minutes.

Once you are at the trailhead, you get to explore and discover. This is not a set interpretive program, but if you are keen to learn something, then ask your knowledgeable guide – they love to talk and share.

You will snowshoe or winter hike for approximately 2 – 5km, depending on the group. This experience is rated at an easy to moderate physical difficulty level.

If the skies are clear, we always take some time to enjoy the stars and to turn off our headlamps.

We usually arrive back at our vehicles around 9:30pm, but there is the odd time it goes longer. Once we return to our vehicles, we will say our goodbyes. Your guide will be the last to leave to ensure you can get out safely.
