Extended Backpacking Trips



What better way to spend Canada Day than traversing the Highwood Range? Join us on the route less travelled!

Challenge your fitness level with the Mount Assiniboine/Redearth Creek trek, or take it a little easier on a Rocky Mountain classic - The Rockwall! Both trips traverse high rocky passes, wander through flower-laden alpine meadows, and camp beside sparkling mountain lakes.

All trips include: experienced guide, instruction, permits, group camping gear, camping fees and a 10% discount on gear rentals (tents, sleeping bags and backpacks can be rented through the Outdoor Centre).
