of you and they had a lot of fun doing so. We will definitely recommend
you to our friends."

Birding in the Rockies
w June
1 to July 15
w Guide: Joel
Hagen
The feathered fauna of Banff and Yoho National Parks are
tough, beautiful, and very creative in their survival strategies. From
the end of spring migration to the height of breeding season, our birds
are in their best plumage, and their best voice. During this period, we
can see everything from hummingbirds to golden eagles. Join Joel for a day's birding in the Rockies, complete with birdwatching
tips and tidbits.

w July

w Guide: Joel

What is better than being face to face with a grizzly
bear? Almost anything, but we'll settle for being face to face with
where a grizzly bear has been. This day hike through high elevation
bear habitat will feature a walking travelogue about the fascinating
world of bear behaviour and biology.

Made For Each Other
w June
15 to September 30

Hagen or Nadine Fletcher
National
parks are full of big animals, big peaks and
big scenery, but behind the scenes there are some astounding
partnerships — soil fungus & tree roots, Clark's nutcrackers
& whitebark pine, bumblebees & calyspo orchids and many more.
If you want to understand the inner workings of nature and wildlife in
the Canadian Rockies, this hike to Paget Lookout is for you.

The Wonder of Water

In the shadow of the Bow Glacier, we find water in all
its glory — tumbling waterfalls, slot canyons, blue glaciers,
braided streams, and beautiful Bow Lake. Here, you'll see how water and
ice have sculpted the Rockies, and find out what water and ice have to
teach us: they hold data about everything from past ice ages to today's
changing climate.

Golden Larches - A
September Pilgrimage
w September
17 to 27
w Guide:
Nadine Fletcher
During mid to late September, alpine larch trees turn an
incredible gold, creating a fabulous fall feeling in the high country.
The crush of larch pilgrims from Calgary can be overwhelming, so we
like to arrange a trip to a limited access destination — Lake
O'Hara. The larches at O'Hara are some of the best and the scenery is,
well... sublime. Lake O'Hara is one of the nicest places in the
Rockies, packing in everything that makes this place special: glaciers,
jewel lakes, steep-sided peaks and high country wildlife.
To go to Lake O'Hara, there is a limit of 5 group
members, plus guide. As well, reservations must be made in advance
(call or email for details). If this doesn't work out for your party,
there are a number of other great larch trails to choose from!
