Close to home, far from ordinary. Meet our two newest Hiking tours in America’s Southwest and the Canadian Rockies.
U.S. Hiking: Sedona, the Grand Canyon & Zion National Park
Iconic Southwest trails
Hike through Arizona and Utah’s legendary landscapes, from meditative red rock walks to challenging canyon descents with serious elevation changes. Test your mettle on the legendary Bright Angel Trail, descending (and ascending) 3,000 feet into the Grand Canyon with nearly a hundred switchbacks, and tackle Scout Lookout Trail in Zion National Park for sweeping views of the park.
Where sacred stories come alive
Immerse yourself in the rich Indigenous heritage of the Southwest, from ancient spiritual sites to authentic cultural experiences with local Navajo and Hopi communities. Step inside Sedona’s sacred Birthing Cave, a Hopi spiritual site where pregnant women once gathered. Sample authentic Navajo food and shop for Indigenous souvenirs at the century-old Cameron Trading Post, where locals once bartered their goods. Journey through Lower Antelope Canyon with a Navajo guide who shares the cultural connection and history of this otherworldly place.
Desert stays done differently
Experience unique accommodations that capture the spirit of the Southwest, from luxury spa resorts to one-of-a-kind glamping under some of the darkest skies in North America. Unwind at Amara Resort and Spa in Sedona, where infinity pools overlook red rock formations and award-winning spa treatments incorporate desert botanicals. Sleep under the stars at Under Canvas Grand Canyon, a design-savvy glamping site on 160 acres of pine and juniper forest, then rest at Cable Mountain Lodge near Zion, where rooms frame canyon views and you’re steps from the Virgin River.
Canadian Rockies Hiking: Banff & Lake Louise
Canada’s high altitude playground
Explore the Canadian Rockies’ most breathtaking terrain, from scenic summit climbs to rewarding valley hikes through wildflower meadows and alpine wilderness. Summit Sulphur Mountain for panoramic views over Banff National Park, hike to pristine Helen Lake through stunning meadows, and reach Sentinel Pass—the highest hiking point in Banff. Experience the full range of Rocky Mountain hiking, from lakeside trails to mountain viewpoints that showcase why this wilderness has drawn adventurers for generations.
Mountain heritage runs deep
Discover the rich cultural heritage of the Canadian Rockies, where First Nations peoples have called these mountain valleys home for thousands of years. Pause for tea and scones at the historic Lake Agnes Teahouse, a tradition dating back over a century in these mountains. Explore Canmore’s vibrant craft brewery scene where local culture thrives against the backdrop of towering peaks, experiencing the authentic Canadian hospitality that makes this region special.
Breathtaking alpine retreats
Stay at exceptional mountain hotels that combine Canadian hospitality with majestic Rocky Mountain settings, from historic lakeside chateaus to modern lodges. Relax at The Rimrock Resort Hotel on Sulphur Mountain’s slopes with Bow Valley views, experience the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise sitting directly on the lake where afternoon tea has been a tradition since 1890, then unwind at mountain-chic MTN House by Basecamp in Canmore, complete with outdoor hot tubs showcasing spectacular mountain views.
