Quietly nestled between Canada’s two Prestigious Mountain Parks, Banff and Jasper, lies one of our country's greatest natural treasures - the Bighorn Backcountry. Covering 5000 square kilometres of Wild Mountain Terrain, soaked in Alpine Meadows, Turquoise Waters and Glaciated Peaks, you only have to look at a map to understand that The Bighorn is the missing link in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The Headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River and its abundance of tributaries flow through some of the World's most stunning natural landscapes, leaving one to wonder how this area has been kept a secret for so long! Whatever your outdoor heart desires, whatever the season, the Bighorn is calling. From Hiking, to Backpacking - Biking to OHV trails - Paddling, Wild Skating, Climbing or Canyoning, come live your Dreams!

This 4 season access into the heart of the Bighorn follows the shores of Abraham Lake, bridges the Cline River and crosses the Kootenay Plains, before finishing her majestic run beneath views of the Wilson Glacier at the Banff National Park Gate.
