Hiking, Backpacking, Snowshoeing Resources

Discover hiking in Calgary's nearby foothills and Rocky Mountains with the Calgary Outdoor Centre.

Hiking, Backpacking and Snowshoeing activites with a group are a great
way to meet other like-minded people, while exploring different regions of the local area. Take the time to learn about travel skills, pacing, temperature regulation, group safety,
map reading, wildflower and animal identification through any of our courses or trips.

Look for some great information here about how to pack a pack, some checklists to make your preparation easier as well as some resources about menu planning and gear selection.
