Helen Lake – Easy
Helen Lake is located on the scenic Icefields Parkway and just the drive to the trailhead is breathtaking. We will hike up through spectacular alpine meadows with lush wildflowers that rank among the most inspiring in the Rockies. As we approach Cirque Peak the views that we are rewarded with will make your heart skip a beat.

Stanley Glacier -- Moderate
As we hike through the effects of a resent wildfire we get the opportunity to observe the rebirth of an ecology. Colourful wildflowers set against a charred background are a photographers dream. We are also treated to unusual new plants that are thriving in this new ecosystem.

Mount Fairview – Moderate
This is the highest hiking trail in the Rockies. On this hike we are given the opportunity to stand on the summit of Mt. Fairview. Many people have achieved their first Rockies summit on this moderate hike. The views into paradise valley and down to Lake Louise are spectacular.

Cory Pass – Advanced
The first 3kms of this hike will get your heart pumping but the end results will be well worth it. As we gain elevation our efforts are rewarded with views of grandeur across the bow valley or into Cory Pass. For stronger hikers a Cory Pass/Edith Pass circuit would be a good option.
