7 Day Rocky Mountain Camping Adventure

We pick you up from the Marriott Downtown Hotel at 2 pm and blast out of town to the mountains just west of us.  The brilliance of our tour design becomes apparent as you watch all the locals heading back to Calgary, while our Sunday departure brings us to the mountains for the least crowded time!  We make a quick stop where you can buy alcohol or snacks, and then get to our campsite in time to set up camp, make dinner and relax around the campfire getting to know new friends and talking about the exciting adventures ahead.  Sleep soundly under a starlit sky and enjoy the pristine mountain air and tranquility. 

Today we head into Jasper National Park and visit the Columbia Icefields, which is the largest icefield in the Rockies and home to 30 glaciers! Most people would walk to the base of the glacier, but you're not "most people" are you?? No!  We hike up Wilcox Pass to a ridge that looks out over the Athabasca Glacier with absolutely epic views and even more epic photo opportunities.   Wilcox Pass Hike- 10 km, 400 meters elevation, 3-4 hours. 

Today is all about being away from crowd and in a secret area that we think is one of the coolest places in the Rockies.  Where is this secret place?  We can't actually say it online becuase it's so secret!   You will be spending the day hiking close to your campsite (which is right by a gorgeous lake, by the way!).  Your hike will take you up a secret mountain to an even more secret ridge that looks out at an impossible amount of peaks and the shimmering blue lake far below.  Spend the evening around a campfire and hanging out on the shore of the lake for sunset.  Secret Hike- 14 km, 800 meters elevation, 5-6 hours
