Best of the Rockies:
A Banff Guided Walking Holiday Tour & Walking Trip
Rock Isle Lake at Sunshine Meadows
The classic Banff tour in the Canadian Rockies - 7 Days/6 Nights
Make your Rockies walking holiday the best it can be and join the only Banff tour that is planned, and operated by a local Canadian Rockies based company. Drawing from our many lifetimes of experience walking mountain trails, from the red rocks of southern Alberta to the wilds of Jasper National Park, we have created what we think is an itinerary that packs the biggest punch for the first time hiker in the Rockies. The trails have been selected for their diversity of scenery, variety of terrain, easy accessibility and most of all, because they rank highest on our “reward for effort” index. They are but a small sample of what’s to be found in the Rockies – but each hike ranks as one of the best!
Of course, covering all of the “Best of the Rockies” in one short week is really quite impossible. We should have included trails in Waterton National Park and around Jasper but have chosen not to – because of the driving distances involved. We want the “Best of the Rockies” to be not just the best walking and hiking trails in the Canadian Rockies but also to be the best use of your limited time. Don’t spend time driving when you can be walking!
