It's difficult to find words that genuinely describe the immensity of the forests, lakes, rivers and mountains of the Canadian Rockies. Few mountain areas of the world appear as pristine and well preserved as the mountain parks of Canada, and spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) Banff National Park is one of the world's premier adventure travel destinations.
As you travel away from the main centres of population you very quickly get a sense of being in a true wilderness. Well established trails leading through the vast forests, over mountain passes and down to adjoining valleys make this area a natural choice for trail running in a truly inspirational landscape.
The incredible diversity of wildlife is a reflection of the wide range of habitats found in the area due to variations in elevation, climate, and plant life. Bighorn sheep, elk, black bear, marmots and beaver are just a few of the species that you might see.
During this distinctive ten day trail running holiday you will stay in exceptional mountain lodges with no diversions to remind you of your busy lifestyle - only beautifully restored log structures built with your comfort in mind. All of the lodges we use offer exceptional service with meals provided. Between our two to three day tours you will return to Banff to relax, restock and prepare for the next amazing run.
Trail running in the Canadian Rockies is an experience you'll never forget.
