Top Calgary Wildlife Watching

Your professionally guided hiking and fishing adventure will begin at a convenient location where we will review our plan for the day and sign the liability waiver. From there, we will drive approximately 1 hour to the trailhead. We will set off on our adventure at a comfortable/relaxed pace, hike for a 1-2 hours, with breaks for water or a snack and then stop for lunch at a majestic alpine lake that is teaming with Cutthroat Trout. On this trip, there will be plenty of time to relax, take photos and explore the area. As a certified interpretive guide, I will teach you about the natural and cultural history of the area, as well as the local flora and fauna. When we are ready, we will make our way back to the trailhead and then back to where we started. The trail will range from between 5 - 10 km (3 - 6 miles) with an approximate elevation gain of 300 - 500 meters (1000 - 1600 feet). This unique adventure will leave you wanting more.

Fortress Mountain Resort is a private leasehold so there are no crowds on the hiking trails. Its stunning scenery and road access make it a favorite filming location, and a unique chance to access beautiful backcountry settings
