Hiking the Canadian Rocky Mountains with Yamnuska: Beauty and Adventure

From Waterfalls to Forests: Escape to the Great Outdoors of Canada’s Rockies

Yamnuska’s backpacking adventures  in the Canadian Rockies are great escapes. As days pass you fall into a rhythm, you relax and sore muscles firm up. Hiking at an easy pace you soon forget that you’re moving at all as you become absorbed with your surroundings:  a waterfall breaks through the cliffs above, an orchid peeps through the moss on the forest floor, clouds scud past the peaks high above. The mountains provide endless distractions.

After a couple of days you realize that the next campsite is not the objective, it’s the journey that counts!  Reaching the end you’re tempted to take a sharp turn, head up the next valley and just keep walking!
