On the doorstep of Calgary, where the endless plains meet the first dramatic cliffs of the Canadian Rockies, lies Kananaskis Country — a stretch of untamed wilderness steeped in cowboy culture. This private half-day excursion immerses you in the unspoilt landscapes of the Elbow Valley, a majestic forested territory far less crowded than the neighbouring national parks. Following the Highway 66 corridor, you'll discover a region celebrated for its limestone ridges, high-altitude valleys, and alpine rivers.
Your private excursion from Calgary begins with a personalised pick-up directly from your hotel or accommodation, aboard a premium 12-seat minibus. Under the guidance of your expert guide, you'll venture deep into the backcountry for a guided hike through the Elbow Valley, winding through fragrant pine forests. Your guide will handle all navigation and safety, equipped with a first aid kit, bear spray, and satellite communication devices, whilst introducing you to the local flora and fauna along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for some of Alberta's most iconic wildlife — bighorn sheep, elk, deer, and black bears!
The physical intensity of the hike is entirely adaptable, making this outing ideal for families, couples, or small groups of up to 11 participants looking for a personalised pace. After the hike, you'll enjoy an exclusive picnic featuring local produce, including a selection of artisan charcuterie, fine cheeses, fresh fruit, and homemade jams. You'll then take a short, accessible walk to the limestone viewpoints at Elbow Falls to admire the power of the Elbow River cascades. The day concludes with an hour of free time in the historic hamlet of Bragg Creek, known for its art galleries and its timeless western atmosphere.
Available year-round, this private excursion from Calgary allows you to witness the seasonal transformations of the Rockies — with walking poles and ice crampons or snowshoes provided by your guide in winter. For every excursion completed, a $20 donation is made directly to one of three Canadian charities of your choice, supporting indigenous community education, land conservation, or animal welfare.
