12 Day Rockies Hiking And Camping Tour

Meet your new friends as we pick you up from the Marriott Downtown Hotel at 2 pm in Calgary.   We head 2.5 hours west, deep into the mountains, which you can admire along the scenic drive.  We make a quick stop in Canmore where you can purchase alcohol and snacks as you desire.  Spend the first evening relaxing around a campfire and watching the stars come out with new friends, while talking about the exciting days ahead. 

Wake up feeling fresh and head out to explore the Columbia Icefield, which is the largest icefield in the Rockies and home to 30 glaciers.  Most people would walk towards the base of the glacier, but you're not most people, are you?!  We hike up through Wilcox Pass and come out on a ridge with an absolutely breathtaking view of the Athabasca Glacier far below us.  It seems so close with its grandeur.  Imagine the epic photos you can take from here.  Spend the evening down by the lake enjoying the sunset and then around the campfire, roasting marshmellows and chatting about the day.  Wilcox Pass- 10 km, 400 meters elevation, 3-4 hours 

No need to go anywhere today!  We are already in a hidden paradise down a secret valley that no one seems to know about.  This is where we spend three nights camping.  There is an incredible hike with no one on it right near our campground.  Climb a secret mountain to the top of a secret ridge, with mind blowing views of all the peaks around and the shimmering blue lake far below.  This is a view you won't forget quickly!   Secret Hike- 14 km, 800 meters elevation, 5-6 hours.
