About the trip

This 16-day escorted tour by G Adventures starts in Calgary with a welcome meeting before heading into Waterton National Park, where hikes around Bertha Lake and Red Rock Canyon set the pace. The route continues through Banff National Park, including a climb up Fairview Mountain and a scenic bike ride through the town. After a flight west to Vancouver and a ferry ride to Sooke, the journey explores coastal rainforests and old growth trees with several hikes, including stretches of the Juan de Fuca trail. The final days include a ride up the Whistler Gondola to walk the High Note trail and a visit to Garibaldi Provincial Park.

The trips are led by a Chief Experience Officer who also manages cooking and logistics, giving this small group a mix of independence and support. Camping accompanies most nights, with all equipment provided except for sleeping bags. The kit list includes essentials for variable mountain weather and mosquito protection. Meals are prepared fresh with local ingredients, mostly eaten outdoors, adding to the outdoor immersion. A trip like this demands a reasonable level of fitness and a willingness to share both effort and space.
