Undoubtedly the greatest way to experience the Canadian Rockies is to leave the crowds and savor the solitude and beauty of the backcountry. The backcountry, and travel within it, offers an experience that becomes addictive. We have designed this three day program to introduce hikers to the skills and knowledge required to have a safe and, most importantly, enjoyable outing in the backcountry... and enjoy it one of the most incredible high alpine areas of the Rockies! Prerequisites for joining this trip include general good health and a desire to explore nature in an active way. The program is rated as moderate since hiking times will generally be around 4 to 6 hours each day. Your pack weight will likely be around 15 kilos and total food and equipment for the group will be shared equally. As with our other programs, it is suitable for persons of all ages. |

3 Day Continental Divide Hiking Tour |
| 01 |
| We'll meet in the morning to go over some of the essentials of backpacking - particularly how to pack! Excess baggage is not what you want if you are carrying it on your back. In the afternoon, we depart for the trailhead to begin our hike. The initial hike will take us 2-4 hours at a leisurely pace (between 5 - 8 km, or 3-5 miles). Invariably the camps are by a stream and close by some excellent views. |

| After a hot cooked breakfast, we'll plan our day. Together we'll choose a route that takes us to a high pass or other scenic point. On the way, you'll learn the basics of route finding and map reading, and how to identify trees and flowers. Distance will vary according to the strength of the group, but will work out to 4 - 6 hours of walking. After the return to camp, we'll eat a delicious dinner and then listen to tall tales around a campfire. |
