Canada's Forgotten Playground

A Brief History

Hiking Glacier National Park

Uncrowded Glacier National Park and Rogers Pass Historic Area are waiting to be discovered by you. Get away from the parking lots and lines of Banff and Lake Louise and step back in time to an authentic experience in British Columbia’s magnificent wild. The height of Rogers pass provides a unique gateway for mortals into an alpine landscape which usually is reserved for mountain climbers and clouds.

With our personable ACMG guides as your compass, and our local live-fire dining and deep sleeping duvets at Heather Mountain Lodge serving as your basecamp, you will map out an experience in Canada’s National Parks like never before. Birdseye vistas, sprawling glaciers, singing meadows, we aim to leave you with a memory that could simply be described as “Best Day Ever”.

Itinerary

Glacier National Park

Highlights:

The Great Glaciers.

Follow the energy of rushing streams and bounding waterfalls to its source. You will find an ancient disappearing stillness of ice for you to contemplate. It’s worth seeing what’s worth saving.

The Historical Glacier House.

The ruins of the old Canadian Pacific Railway hotel “The Glacier House”, which in 1886 was as grand as the Banff Springs and Chateau Lake Louise, tells a story of the “Birthplace of Canada’s Mountain Culture” complete with bowling alleys.

Wildflowers of the Alpine Tundra.

Elevate yourself into the unique mountain biome where trees no longer grow, but life abounds with an extravagant bed of beautiful flowers that fight to be seen each year in all their glory. Perfect places for picnics or a short nap!

Grizzly Habitat.

Be expertly guided in the safety of a group past scratching posts and around huckleberry patches, the creature comforts of our magnificent bears home. Learn best how to share our wilderness and give space to all the park’s furry residents.
