If you’re the adventurous type who loves the great outdoors, then chances are a trip to the Canadian Rockies this summer is the perfect destination for you. The mountain range, which stretches from the interior plains of Alberta (including Jasper and Banff) to northern British Columbia, offers many activities for outdoor enthusiasts but here are the top five:
1 Heli Hiking
Truly the best way to see the Rockies is from above, and a scenic helicopter ride offers you a beautiful view like no other. After the short flight, you’re dropped off at a breathtaking place where the hike of your lifetime is waiting.
2 Cave Tours
The Rockies are host to many twisty, subterranean pathways etched over hundreds of thousands of years by the force water. Expect to delve into one of the most unique experiences you’ll ever have when you take one of these tours.
3 ATV Tours
Touring the wilderness via an All-Terrain Vehicle is an exciting way to explore the Rockies, offering a different perspective of the landscape. Some tours include seeing the remains of an early 1900s silver mine on top of an 8,000 foot mountain or exploring the oldest mountains in the range.
4 Zip Line
Get ready for an incredible rush when you take the zip line down mountain sides and across rivers at more than 50 km per hour.
5 Whitewater Rafting
The Canadian Rockies offer some of the most awesome whitewater rafting experiences in North America. There’s nothing like the thrill of travelling down rushing water to get your heart pumping.
