Alright, ladies! Are you ready to push past that single-night trip? Or, are you eager and ready to jump right past the introduction?
Let's head out into the backcountry of Banff National Park for three days and teach you all there is to know about backpacking! We will hike up to 12km into a backcountry campground and set up a base camp. Spending two nights here we'll have a lot of opportunity to practice our skills, explore off trail, and get you out front! After three days in the backcountry you will be an absolute pro at camping!

Adventure Dates: July 14 - 17
Adventure Rates: C$575
We value small groups - limited to 6 adventurists

Planned Itinerary:
Day 0 – Due to COVID-19 our pre-trip meetings will now be held online at 7pm. We will make sure everyone has everything they need, introduce the group, laugh lots, and distribute the group gear.​ If COVID-19 restrictions relax we will resume in person pre-trip meetings. if this occurs, you will be notified of the change.
Day 1 – We'll wake up full of energy and drive to the trailhead. The day will be spent hiking to our campground, exploring, and learning about the local animals! Delicious home made dehydrated meals will fill our bellies. Topped off with desert we will head to bed with a smile on our face!
Day 2 – Wake up to the smell of coffee delivered to your "door". After an amazing breakfast relish in the fact that we don't need to move camp. We will spend the day exploring off trail and practicing our navigation and decision making skills. Each person will take a turn out front while under the guidance of the guide. The day is our own adventure!
Day 3 – Today we get to sleep in and enjoy the wilderness before heading back to civilization. Taking our time to appreciate our surroundings we will hike out to our cars. Enjoy the feeling of accomplishment as you just spent two nights in the backcountry!
