STARTING FROM CALGARY: For all full day hikes and snowshoe days, we carpool from Calgary to the hike trailhead unless otherwise stated. Check each outing individually for its meeting point. 

STARTING ELSEWHERE: If you are based outside of Calgary (i.e. Banff, Canmore, Cochrane or south of the city) than we can arrange to meet you at another location or the trailhead, whichever makes more sense.   

No Carpool Fee: There is no charge for carpooling however it is common for passengers to chip in and buy the driver a post-hike refreshment and snack.

If you do not have a car check the Calgary Transit website for train and bus schedules.
