6-Days/ 5 Nights Banff & Jasper Hiking & Camping Tour – A Canadian Rockies Adventure
If you want big Rocky Mountain scenery without the burden of carrying a heavy pack from camp to camp, this is your trip. Our Hiking & Basecamp Adventure is designed around the best part of mountain travel: full days outdoors on spectacular trails, followed by comfortable evenings to recharge for the next day.
You’ll begin in Banff and quickly settle into the rhythm of the Rockies—meeting your guides, hiking near Lake Louise, and taking in the region’s classic landscapes at a pace that lets you actually feel the place. One day, trade hiking boots for a paddle and enjoy an unforgettable rafting experience on the Kicking Horse River—an ideal mid-trip contrast that adds variety and a rush of fun. From there, the journey continues north toward Jasper for more guided hiking in wider, wilder terrain and true “big mountain” vistas.
Throughout the week, we handle the details so you can stay present: route selection, timing, transfers, and on-trail support—delivering a smooth, personal, high-quality experience in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.
Trips starts and ends in Banff, Alberta.
