Hiking in Banff National Park, Alberta<\/h2>\n

Yamnuska Mountain Adventures have a ton of guided backpacking and camping trips in the Canadian Rockies but what if you want to organize your own? No problems. Whether it be for a family reunion, corporate gig or just a chance to head out with some buddies for a healthy few days hike \u2013 Yamnuska can organize custom made and private tours based around the time, difficulty and location of your choosing.<\/p>\n

There really is no better place in the world for a hiking trip than the Canadian Rockies. The great thing about organizing your trip through Yamnuska Mountain Adventures is that they actually listen to what you want and work around it. Whether you are looking for accommodation in Canmore the night before you leave or want to have food and drinks included in the trip, the guys there know exactly what it takes to make this trip as perfect and memorable as possible.<\/p>\n

There are a few different options to choose from. With backpacking for example, you carry everything you need with you as you move from campsite to campsite. It is not just Banff National Park that plays host to these trips; Kootenay and Jasper among others are all great locations. You can stay in backcountry lodges in British Columbia which is not far from Canmore<\/a>. These can be accessed hiking or via helicopter if you want to take the quicker scenic route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
