Quick Overview
Not everyone is an experienced backcountry hiker and may appreciate the assistance and knowledge of a local guide. Even seasoned mountaineers, climbers, skiers, and mountain bikers look to the expertise of a guide. We’ve personally used guides many times in the mountains and walked away learning something new every time.
Discover Banff Tours offers excellent guided hikes with a packed lunch that will remove much of the stress of hiking in foreign terrain. While we believe that almost anyone can discover the Rockies on their terms, we understand some may benefit from safety in numbers and the experience of a guide.
The hike typically takes guests to one of four trails: Larch Valley, Stanley Glacier, Consolation Lakes, or the Plain of Six Glaciers. Guests can share their opinions on which hike they’d like to enjoy. The hike includes a packed lunch for you to enjoy along the trail.
