Everything you want in a Canadian Rockies hiking experience, without the crowds. Hidden behind the Lake Louise Ski Resort, the Skoki Backcountry is normally only accessible by first hiking a 9km return fire road. Skip the fire road with our exclusive van shuttle to the edge of the ski area boundary, to start our hike in the pristine wilderness of the Skoki backcountry.
Hike with us as we travel through pristine forests, along clear mountain creeks and fields of mountain wildflowers to reach turquoise high alpine lakes nestled among the towering glacier-clad peaks of the Canadian Rockies
We’ll provide transportation, a professional driver and interpretive guide with commentary and local stories as they whisk you away to your hiking adventure. We’ll bring everything you need, including lunch.

Belle expérience. Visite privée à Lake Louise avec Jeff, qui en plus d’être serviable et à l’écoute, est un véritable passionné. Il aime la région et réussit à transmettre sa passion du site et de son histoire. Excellents moments passés en sa compagnie. Nous en gardons de beaux souvenirs (et de belles photos).

My wife and I loved our guided hike with Jack on the Skokie Backcountry Tour. Jack's easy, consistent pace allowed us to soak in the beauty of the mountains. Confident, knowledgeable, and experienced Jack never once had us feeling unsafe or unsure of our surroundings.
Jack was able to accurately gauge the fatigue (or lack thereof) in a group with ages ranging from 25-65 and schedule breaks at the perfect moments. The definite highlight of our hike was being within 30 metres of a herd of big horn sheep grazing while we had lunch. We plan on coming back to Banff and being guided by White Mountain Adventures (hopefully by Jack)!

Jennifer took us out and it was amazing. She has a ton of knowledge about the area and pointed out lots of interesting facts along the way. This is a great trip - we got to drive to the trailhead and avoid 2 miles of what is a like a fire road. That allowed us to start at the beginning of the trail and really enjoy the hike. Beautiful larches through out the entire hike. The hike was not exceptionally strenuous - very enjoyable and incredible views and lakes. It’s off the beaten path so we avoided the hordes of crowds at all the other trails. We could truly enjoy the splendor of Banff National Park. I would highly recommend and ask for Jennifer!
