I am an accomplished outdoor enthusiast and world traveller who has explored much of Canada, Asia, South America, Central America and New Zealand. At 25ish countries and counting I am always looking for new adventures and new people to share adventures with, whether it be by road or on foot. With more than 20 years of experience here in the Canadian Rockies I have a passion for the mountains and like nothing more than sharing that passion with others. I practice Leave No Trace ethics and it is my goal to foster a better appreciation and understanding of our natural environment by connecting people to the history and the landscape. My good nature and sense of humour make me an easy travelling companion on long and short trips alike. I am certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, the Interpretive Guides Association and the Outdoor Council of Canada. I also have an Advanced Wilderness First Aid Certification. Business Licences and Proof of Commercial Liability Insurance for all advertised Activities and Tour areas are available. I am continuously adding to my skills, experience and knowledge. For any and all trips I put the safety and enjoyment of my guests first. Transportation is included and recommendations can be made about local dining, accommodations, other activities and facilities. Requests for larger groups can be accommodated. Please bear with me as I am often away from internet and cell reception. I look forward to connecting with you as soon as possible.

Overview of your Banff tour

Countless hiking options exist in the area ranging in length from half day to full day and multi day and in difficulty from very easy to very challenging. Please tell me a bit about yourself or your group and their experience and abilities so that I may plan the best experience for you. Full day hiking trips allow us to explore deeper into the back-country than a half day trip would allow. Guests can expect moderate to difficult terrain depending on our location as well as some possible off trail travel and or stream crossings. No experience required but you should be in good physical shape If this sounds like too much for you try out a half day trip instead. Looking for more adventure? Ask me about overnight or multi-day trips.

Your Banff tour itinerary

**Each itinerary will be slightly different depending on the location chosen. Price, duration, drive times and activity levels are determined by group and location. A typical day begins with us meeting at your hotel and reviewing and signing waivers and a brief medical form. We will have a safety briefing and after ensuring we are packed and ready for the day we will depart for the trailhead. (Distances and driving times vary. ) We will have lunch on the trail and at the end of our trip return to your hotel.
