A little moody mountain weather on our recent Rockwall Highline trip!

The group experienced a bit of everything along the way, including some fresh snow and a full whiteout crossing Numa Pass.

Even when the views disappear and the weather rolls in, the Rockwall is still a pretty incredible place to experience. A beautiful few days travelling through one of the Rockies’ classic landscapes as summer starts giving way to fall.

There’s something special about this time of year in the mountains.

The days are getting a little shorter, the air a little cooler, and hints of fall are beginning to appear across the alpine. We’re right on the cusp of one of the most colourful times of year in the Canadian Rockies.

It’s also a time for quieter moments on the trail and a chance to watch the landscape transition from summer into fall.

Another beautiful day in the mountains to close out our five-day backpacking trip from Assiniboine to Sunshine Village. 🥾🏔️

The golden larches won’t be far behind!

🍂 Fall is definitely in the air in the Rockies!

The alpine is already starting to show hints of fall colour, and it won’t be long before the larches begin their annual show of gold.

Guide Jean and the group recently spent a few days out on our Kananaskis Highlands backpacking program. Despite the rain, trail conditions were good overall as the group made their way through the high country and up to Turbine Canyon camp.

September is one of our favourite times to be on the trails—cooler days, changing colours and that unmistakable feeling that the seasons are shifting.

🥾 Here’s a look at the group making their way to camp, along with a view from above Turbine Canyon of the day’s hiking terrain.

Larch season is just around the corner! 💛🍂

For a few short weeks each fall, the alpine larches of the Canadian Rockies turn brilliant gold, making September one of the most spectacular times of year to get out on the trails.

Join us for our Golden Larch Valley Hiking Tour and spend the day hiking through one of the Rockies’ most beautiful fall landscapes. With mountain views, golden larches and crisp autumn air, it’s a season worth making the most of.

Our larch hikes are coming up soon—join us while the colours are at their best!

🥾 Ready to take your hiking to the next level?

Summer is well underway in the Rockies, and if you've been spending your days on the trails but are starting to look up at some of the summits beyond them, now is a great time to make the move from hiking to scrambling.

Scrambling opens up a whole new range of mountain objectives—but steeper terrain, route finding, exposure and loose rock also require a different set of skills.

Our Scrambling Skills Course is designed to help you make that transition with more confidence. You'll learn techniques for moving efficiently through steeper terrain, choosing routes, managing hazards and making better decisions in the mountains.

We still have space available on our August 22 course!

If you've been thinking about expanding where your hiking boots can take you, come learn the skills to do it confidently.

A fantastic day in Kananaskis recently with an inspiring group of women exploring Wasootch Ridge!

From the steep forest climb to the rolling ridgeline, every step was rewarded with incredible panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. Great conversations, lots of laughs, and the shared experience of reaching new heights made for an unforgettable day in the mountains.
