Beautiful hike in Canmore

We had a wonderful 3-hour hike with Isla right after we arrived in Canmore. It was supposed to rain, and Jacob was nice enough to call us and offer to rebook. We had a tight schedule the rest of our trip and decided to risk it. The weather turned out to be beautiful! We were given some choices of where to go which took into account how muddy the trails might be (much appreciated). We ended up doing an out and back to an old mining town, and it was a lovely trail with beautiful views. Isla was very knowledgeable and gave us information about the history, area wildlife, and plants/trees as we walked. She also had a great recommendation for a beer garden to check out after we finished. I would love to come back and try another hike in the future!
Highly highly recommended walk for nature lovers

Jacob was amazing! He was very patient with our group. He was very honest about the first tour that we had booked with him and accommodated the tour for us to be able to see views and get our hike in. His stories are super interesting so please listen to what he is saying.
A great fall hike!

Ben was a knowledgeable and engaging guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hike that began at the Banff Gate Mountain resort and ended up in a stunning mountain meadow surrounded by mountains on 3 sides. Ben did a great job pointing out the local flora (we didn't see much fauna) along with their ecological and historical importance. He also emphasized safety (e.g., make sure you have bear spray, especially during the fall season), and that hiking should above all, be fun! Thanks, Ben!

Great guide and pleasant hike but nothing special. Really surprised no wildlife at all, not even birds! Low level so no real views but guide was knowledgeable and made quite a dull walk much more interesting.

Ben was amazing. The hike with the gorgeous scenery was worth the price alone but his knowledge about the plants and trees along with the history of the area made it all the more memorable. Thanks again Ben !
