This Canadian Rockies adventure continues with four days of exhilarating outdoor exploration. We’ll hike among snow-capped peaks, bike scenic mountain trails, canoe across turquoise lakes, and perhaps tackle an unforgettable whitewater rafting experience. Evenings are spent in cozy mountain lodge in Canmore and the iconic Chateau Lake Louise, sharing meals and reflections with a small group of like-minded travelers.
