We will leave Calgary for a 3 hour drive to the trailhead at Shark Mountain. Our gear and selves will be transported by helicopter into Assiniboine Park. This is a dramatic opportunity to see some of the most incredible scenery in the Rockies. We will get our gear and camp at Lake Magog, at the base of Mt. Assiniboine, seventh highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. You will quickly understand why the area has been designated as a World Heritage Site.
Day 2 to 5:
We will use Lake Magog as our base to explore the surrounding region. The guides will lead you to Nub Peak for one of the best views of the area. On a clear day you can see four passes, three valleys, four lakes and an endless number of peaks. We promise you a panorama today that will blow a hole in your hiking socks. We will also hike to Mt. Cautley and around Lake Magog to see where climbers stage their assent of Mt Assiniboine. We have also arranged to enjoy an afternoon tea and cakes over at Assiniboine Lodge. We will hike to scenic Wonder Pass, past a larch forest and beside Lake Gog. After gaining the summit of Wonder Pass, we will gain great views of Marvel and Gloria Lakes.
Day 6:
We will helicopter back to our starting point where we will be met by our van. Our plan is to camp by Spray Lake, a magnificently beautiful body water.
Day 7:
We will drive to Canmore for a short visit and a final lunch together. You will be then driven back to Calgary in time to catch an evening flight home.
