All of the hikes were challenging but doable and the beautiful scenery was the reward. The hike leaders were all so friendly, outgoing, encouraging and personable. I was amazed at their energy and their organizational skills and could not have asked for a better experience. Big shout out to Kasia, Tealia and Gabby!

Everything about the trip was excellent: planning, transportation, leaders (experience, expertise, attentiveness, happiness), premier inns, food, choice of hiking routes, company.

This hiking trip was nothing short of phenomenal. The accommodations were top-notch. Guided by the best leaders, the hikes unveiled some of the most breathtaking sceneries I've ever witnessed. Pictures in brochures simply can't capture the beauty of this part of the world – it's even more captivating in person. One of the highlights was the unique trails curated by Backroads. There was something genuinely special about preparing our lunches daily and savoring them amidst such serenity. After a day of exploration, returning to our lavish accommodations, taking a refreshing shower, and indulging in a delicious meal, often paired with a view, was the cherry on top. If you're on the fence about this trip, don't think twice. It's an absolute must-visit, offering experiences that will remain etched in memory forever.

The hikes, leaders, accommodations and food were exceptional!! Highly recommend a Backroads trip to anyone who loves nature and active tourism!!

Great views Great leaders Great hikers

Our family of 4 (all adults) experienced this trip in June/July of 2023. The leaders were so enthusiastic and helpful, it made our trip even more special. The properties we stayed at were top notch, and each unique. The food, especially dinners, was exceptional. The hikes were moderately challenging for most of us, but doable. The leaders adapted to all abilities. I'm so glad we booked this one!

This was our first Backroads trip and we are looking forward to another trip next year. The trip was so well planned out with scenic hikes, beautiful accommodations, all delicious meals, transportation in comfortable vans that were always short distances to the best places to stay and hike, and so much more. Our trip leaders were so outstanding. They were so personable and interesting. They knew so much about the hikes, the flowers, trees, wildlife, and the history of the area.

I enjoyed every moment of this trip. The hikes were challenging but doable. At times I was exhausted, but in a good way. I cannot think of a better way to spend a week: spectacular scenery, challenging exercise, superb companionship, luxury lodging and healthy delicious food. Every detail was handled by our experienced, responsible, and friendly guides. I have been a Backroads customer for close 40 years and plan to continue.

It would be impossible to choose what was the best part. Our guides were AMAZING, scenery was GORGEOUS, the hotels got better and better as the trip went along. Our last night at Moraine Lake was too good to be true. The hikes were the perfect mix of challenging and doable. I took some pictures along the way but stopped taking them because no picture could do justice to how gorgeous the Canadian Rockies are in person.

This is exactly what I needed; nature is healing. This trip was undeniably healing to my soul. The hotels were serene and the food was fabulous. What interested me in this trip was the mention of "undiscovered" and so grateful for the memories. Many comments from my pictures were that they were fake or should be on a postcard.
