Guided Canadian Rockies Tours & Hiking Adventures

MT Sobek’s Canadian Rockies tours highlight the very best of Banff, Jasper, Yoho, and Kootenay National Parks. Guests hike to iconic lakes, glaciers, and alpine ridges while exploring less-traveled trails for a deeper wilderness experience. Top places to visit include Lake Louise, the Columbia Icefield, Stanley Glacier, Emerald Lake, Marble Canyon, and Moraine Lake.

Summer (June–August) offers long days and ideal weather for hiking and exploring. Fall (September–October) brings cooler air, golden larches, and fewer crowds. Winter (November – March) transforms the Rockies into a snow-filled wonderland perfect for snowshoeing, while Spring (April- May) brings wildflowers and abundant wildlife activity.

Wildlife in the Canadian Rockies is incredible! You may spot mountain goats, elk, moose, bald eagles, bighorn sheep, and even black bears or grizzlies. Our guides emphasize responsible travel practices to ensure safe and respectful wildlife viewing.

Hikes in the Canadian Rockies range from easy walks to challenging alpine routes. MT Sobek’s adventures are rated at a moderate Level 3, designed for active travelers who enjoy full days on the trail with plenty of breaks for photos and exploration.

From luxury hotels to rustic campgrounds, the Canadian Rockies offer accommodations for every style and budget. You should consider the sites you most want to see, amenities you can’t do without, and the experiences you most want to prioritize. Whether you want to enjoy the vibrant charm of towns like Banff from a comfortable hotel room, or marvel at starry nights from a campsite right inside the national park, there are plenty of options that match your dream experience. On MT Sobek tours, we select comfortable lodges and scenic campsites ideally located for daily adventures—so you can relax and recharge each evening.

Calgary International Airport (YYC) in Alberta is the gateway to the Canadian Rockies for most visitors. Just a short 1.5-hour drive to Banff, the airport is serviced by flights from major cities across the US and Canada.

Comfortable hiking shoes and socks, clothing that can be layered to suit a range of temperatures and weather throughout the day, and a daypack with enough room for snacks, water, personal items, and an extra layer are essential for hiking in the Canadian Rockies. MT Sobek provides detailed packing lists for each trip, tailored to the season and activities you’ll enjoy.
