Seasonal operations
We conduct expeditions from May through October. Winter inquiries are reviewed for following season scheduling.
This information helps us recommend appropriate experiences and identify potential scheduling conflicts before you commit time to planning.
We collaborate with educational institutions, conservation organizations, and Indigenous-led tourism initiatives. Partnership proposals should outline mutual objectives and anticipated outcomes rather than generic collaboration requests.
Journalists and academic researchers seeking interviews or field access should provide context about their project timeline and publication plans. We prioritize requests that advance public understanding of ecological systems.
Canmore sits at the intersection of three major ecosystems: montane valleys, subalpine forests, and alpine tundra. This concentration of ecological zones within accessible range makes it an ideal base for diverse expeditions.
The town's position along traditional Indigenous travel routes reflects centuries of understanding about strategic positioning. We benefit from that accumulated geographic knowledge.
Calgary International Airport is 140 kilometers east. Rental vehicles are available at the airport. Public transit options exist but require transfers and extended travel time.
Trans-Canada Highway access from east or west. Parking is available near our office. Winter driving conditions require appropriate tires and emergency supplies.
Expedition departure locations vary by experience type. Specific coordinates and access instructions are provided upon booking confirmation, not before.
