Day One - Snow Shoeing
am Spend time with your guide using a historic form of Canadian travel through pristine mountain scenery. The skills are easy to learn and the pace is relaxed. Your guide will assist you in learning how to use your snow shoes on a variety of terrain at a level comfortable for you. Learn Native lore on plants and some history of the people who lived here.
pm Enjoy a campfire lunch where you will learn traditional methods of fire lighting and how to build a fire in many different weather conditions. This includes examples of different fire types and their uses and of course, the best type of fire for keeping you warm (it’s not what you think!).
Day 2:

You may want to do some shopping in the specialty stores on Canmore’s main street or immerse yourself in the local history at the Mining Museum or the Centennial Museum (old RCMP Barracks). Your hosts will be happy to share some local points of interest with you and guide you in the right direction.
