Guided Backpacking Trips
Our backpacking trips get you outside into areas that are off-the-beaten-path and away from the crowds in the Canadian Rockies. We have five signature backpacking trips in the South Canadian Rockies.
Guided backpacking trips are multi-day hikes where you camp in the backcountry. You will carry everything in a backpack weighing between 35 - 55lbs depending on your size, weight, and the duration of the trip.
There are two options to book a backpacking trip:
1. You can book onto a group trip with other people and these dates are preset. If there is a waiting list, you can email us to be put onto the list. You will find information above in the section: Upcoming Backpacking Trips.
2. Or, book a private trip. Groups of 4 or more will be priced the same as our website. We can also customize your backpacking trip if there is something you don't see on our website. Message us to put together a private trip.
Our guides have been working in the backcountry for several years and are very knowledgeable about the hidden trails in the area. Don't be afraid to ask for something specific.
Do you feel like a beginner or are nervous as this is your first backpacking trip? You might want to get into backpacking on your own, but don't know where to start? Try our Intro into Backpacking course.
