(November 8, 2024). Great Divide operates its guided hiking and snowshoeing tours with measures in place to keep our guests safe. Owner and guide Joel Hagen is fully vaccinated, and has had regular Covid booster shots, most recently on November 5, 2024
My Safety Measures
Great Divide has operated safely since the pandemic began. Because our trips are conducted outdoors, in small groups, and with the ability to keep safe distances from one another, our activities are low risk. My safety measures are as follows:
-
depending on the venue, at indoor meeting locations (hotel lobby, park visitor centre), your guide may choose to wear a mask. It is your choice whether or not to mask indoors. Masks are not required out on the trail.
-
there will be no carpooling: guests will self-drive to the trailheads.
Information for International Travellers
There are no travel restrictions to enter Canada. For more info, see Health Canada’s travel info website.
My Cancellation Policy
I will accept, without penalty, any cancellations due to travel restrictions or your contracting of COVID-19. I do not want to cause any financial hardship for guests who are unable to make a trip to the Canadian Rockies, or who test positive for COVID-19 once they are here.
If your guide contracts COVID-19, you will be notified, and any trips that fall within the suggested self-isolation period of the guide (5 days) will be cancelled.
Updates
Since the response to the COVID-19 outbreak is in constant flux, everything listed above is subject to change. I revise this information annually, or if conditions change in a significant way.
