We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Winter weather in the Canadian Rockies can be among the coldest in North America, but you can comfortably enjoy the outdoors if you're properly dressed. In order to snowshoe or hike in the snow, you must wear warm winter boots (preferably waterproof) and waterproof breathable pants, jacket and gloves. Your clothing should be warm enough to allow you to comfortably remain outside in below-freezing conditions for 2–4 hours at a time. Layers are encouraged for when we snowshoe.
